International bestselling author John Flanagan returns to world of
Ranger's Apprentice in the sixth installment of the Royal Ranger series
in which Maddie and Will must travel to Celtica to investigate a series
of dire wolf attacks and a dangerous sorceress.
When Maddie and Will get a message that dire wolves--huge misshapen
changelings, much larger than regular wolves--have been marauding and
attacking through the hills and valleys of Celtica, the Rangers are sent
on a mission to unravel just who or what is behind these dangerous
creatures.
Will isn't anxious to return to Celtica, especially approaching the
Rift. And as they travel, Maddie must grapple with their growing
dealings with the spiritual and supernatural. But they are Rangers--and
they will do whatever it takes to accomplish their mission. After they
receive some offers of help from locals, Will and Maddie learn the name
of the sorceress behind these strange and dangerous attacks, Arazan,
along with the location of her hideout.
On the way to take her down once and for all, the Rangers must face
direwolves, wargals, dark magic, and more. And as Arazan's desires lead
her to the most evil of powers, Will and Maddie must form a plan of
action that can outwit not just the sorceress but the darkest forces
from the beyond.
