After years as a Ranger's apprentice, Will is now the protector of his first fief. Not long into his service, everything that can go wrong does: Keren, a renegade knight, has taken over Castle Macindaw, a strategic gateway to the North—poisoning the royal family in the process—and is holding Will's friend Alyss captive. The situation grows direr when Will uncovers Keren's secret alliance with the Scotti, who have plans to plunder Araluen. Time is of the essence, and Will must recruit a motley crew to rescue Alyss and reclaim Castle Macindaw—before the Scotti can make it their own.This New York Times bestselling series maintains its breathless pace in this newest installment.

This has all the traits of a fun adventure - a grave injustice, a looming threat, a plucky hero and a band of misfits teaming up, each bringing a skill to the table. It was a really good fun adventure suitable for the younger reader, but with one moment towards the end that I thought went too far when the big bad guy gets acid thrown in his face, he could have just been knocked on the head and fallen out the window. Did we really have to have a description of him running around the room while his eyes burnt out? That was just nasty but aside from that one incident I would say that this was another excellent adventure.
