Young orphan Will has always dreamed of joining the battle school and learning to be a soldier, but he’s rejected due to his small stature. Instead he gets apprenticed to the mysterious Ranger, Halt. Not knowing what’s he’s getting into, he learns to shoot, be a tactical advisor to his superiors, track and hide. He, Halt and Halt’s ex-Apprentice go in searth of the infamous Kalkara. Their aim? To destroy the Kalkara before they murder another senior leader.
Please note this is just the first part of the story. You will have to get the next couple to finish Will’s first adventure. The books, The Ruins of Gorlan, The Burning Bridge, The Icebound Land and (I’m pretty sure) The Oakleaf Bearers are part of one adventure almost. Then Sorcerer in the North and Siege of Macindaw are a two part story. Erak’s Ransom is a standalone adventure before you get to Kings of Clonmel and Halt’s Peril which are another two-parter, in my opinion. Then Emperor of Nihon-Ja (knee-hon-ya) is another standalone. These all follow Will and his friends; it’s just each group I just mentioned are different adventures happening in this universe.
