| As of May, 2009, there are 8 books in the Ranger’s Apprentice Series, with more to come.
Books 1-4
Follow the first two years of Will’s life as a Ranger, from his initial recruitment as an Apprentice Ranger, through his pivotal roles in battles with the renegade Lord Morgarath, the Kalkara Assassins, the Skandian Seawolves and the fierce Temujai riders from the Eastern Steppes.
Books 5 and 6
Set a few years later, this two book set describes Will’s first assignment as a fully fledged Ranger. Sent to a Northern fief to investigate rumours of sorcery, he uncovers a planned attack by the fierce Scotti warriors from Picta. Several old friends from previous books assist him as he attempts to unmask a traitor and foil the Scotti plans.
Book 7
Book 7 is actually out of chronological order. It’s set after Book 4 and a few months before Book 5. We actually considered numbering it Book 4 1/2 but we decided that might be too confusing. It’s set in the desert land of Arrida, where Erak, Oberjarl of the Skandians, is being held prisoner. Will, Halt, Horace, Gilan and Evanlyn set out on a rescue mission. It’s full of action and adventure: fights, pitched battles, a horse race, a sandstorm in the desert. Plus you’ll meet two interesting new characters.
Books 8 and 9
Back in sequence, these books follow on from Books 5 and 6. Halt, Horace and Will travel to Hibernia (a country that bears a strong resemblance to Ireland in the real world) to foil the plans of the leader of a fake religious cult, who is attempting to take over the six kingdoms.
