All his life Will has dreamed of becoming a great knight like the father he never knew, so he is devastated when he is rejected by Castle Redmont's Battleschool. Instead he's apprenticed to Halt, the mysterious Ranger whose uncanny ability to move about unseen is thought by many to be the result of black magic. A reluctant Will is given the weapons of a Ranger - a bow and arrow. But when he and Halt set off on a desperate mission to prevent the assassination of the King, Will learns that a Ranger's weapons are not so useless after all.
