Description:

Castle Macindaw falls to treacherous Sir Keren, a turncoat knight poisoning the royal line and plotting Araluen's downfall with Skandian cult mystics. Will Treaty, cunning Ranger-in-training, and mighty knight Horace spearhead the counterstrike amid icy northern wilds.

For Will, victory demands more than arrows and strategy—beloved Alyss awaits as hostage within those grim walls. Mastering mind games, feigned hauntings, and siegecraft, Will channels his legendary mentor Halt to outwit invaders.

Over 8 million series copies sold—this pulse-racing installment (ages 10+) blends Tolkien-scale quests with Eragon's grit and Percy Jackson's camaraderie. Heroism forged in peril: when kingdom hangs by a thread, one Ranger's love ignites the siege that could save—or shatter—Araluen forever.
