Will
is small for his age, but agile and energetic. All his life, he has dreamed of
becoming a great knight like the father he never knew, so he is devastated when
he is rejected as an apprentice to Castle Redmont's Battleschool. Instead he is
apprenticed to Halt, the mysterious Ranger whose uncanny ability to move unseen
is thought to be the result of black magic.
Reluctantly, Will learns to use the Ranger's
secret weapons: a bow and arrow, a mottled cloak and a stubborn little pony. It
may not be the sword and battlehorse he longs for,
but when Will and Halt set out on a desperate mission to prevent the
assassination of the King, Will finds that a Ranger's weapons are not so
useless after all...
