Bracing for a final clash with the evil warlord Morgarath, the Rangers rally the kingdom’s allies, and Will is chosen, along with his friend Horace, as special envoys to nearby Celtica. But the simple mission soon takes an unsettling turn – the Celticans have disappeared, their town abandoned. The scheming hand of Morgarath, it seems, has been far from idle. He has found a way to bring his legions over the once impassible eastern mountains and is planning to ambush the king’s army in a rout. Now with help many miles away, Will and Horace are the only ones standing in the way of the dark lord’s plans.They have shown great skill and courage in their training, but how will they fare in the face of true evil?
Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, T.H. White’s The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paolini’s Eragon series, and George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire series.

This book is probably one of the best books I've ever read in my life next to Percy Jackson and Alex Rider books.
Very good book.
This is the best book in the series so far as Will and Horace and a new ally try to burn the bridge that Morgarath's forces are trying to get across. --Spoiler Alert--Spoiler Alert--Spoiler Alert-- I also liked it because Horace defeats Morgarath and the battle is well described.
Even better than the first he book is filled with adventure and joke. It uses lots of sensory detail.
Some great shows of friendship, bravery (maybe a little stupidnes thrown in there as well), and (If your interested) a brilliant fight or two.
