After a senseless tragedy destroys his life, Will is obsessed with punishing those responsible -- even if it means leaving the Ranger Corps. His worried friends must find a way to stop him taking such a dark path.
It is Halt who suggests the solution: Will must take an apprentice. The candidate Halt has in mind surprises everyone -- and it's a request Will cannot refuse.
Training a rebellious, unwilling apprentice is hard enough. But when a routine mission uncovers a shocking web of crime, Will must decide where his priorities lie -- finishing his quest for revenge, or saving innocent lives?
*Originally known as "The Royal Ranger,", it was the twelfth and final novel in the Ranger's Apprentice series. In 2018, it was renamed and became the first book in the sequel series, "The Royal Ranger."*

I found it good that he brought the story full circle with Will being the Mentor to a new apprentice. It was a good way to end this series.
So I might have stayed up really late last night finishing this book. Devouring it whole is probably a fairly apt descriptor. And now I want to read it again. Reread the whole series, really.
The marketing of this series fascinates me. I know I need to check the children's section of my local bookshops if I want to find them. They are classified as juvenile fiction, or maybe sometimes as YA (I can't say as I have ever found them shelved in the YA/teen section, however). When the series starts, Will and his friends are fifteen years old, but by this last book they are, at an absolute minimum, in their mid-30s. That's a huge range of ages for a series of books aimed at children, but somehow it works.
