Would you like a hero who is 15 years old and has a mysterious (for a while, anyway) Ranger master? Then this is the series for you! Rangers are men who work for the King as an intelligence force. They have bows and knives to use if they have to fight, but prefer to just use the shadows to discover secrets.
Will, the main character who lived at Castle Redmont as an orphan, has wanted to be a knight all his life. On Choosing Day, he was rejected from Battle School by the Battle Master, Sir Rodney. Everyone but a Ranger named Halt rejected him. He became Halt's apprentice. He learned how to use a bow and double knives. At a Ranger Gathering, Will met Halt's first apprentice, Gilan. Gilan used a sword instead of 2 knives. He's a Battle Master's son from another castle. He learned how to use a sword before he wanted to be a Ranger. Instead of letting his talent go to waste, he was allowed to continue using a sword.
At one point in the book, two warriors, in the prime of life, were murdered. Halt, Will, and Gilan went to stop the creatures who were hunting and killing men. They found out that the two killers were Kalkera, deadly monster assassins that hated fire. Will shot a fire arrow and killed one after Sir Rodney and Baron Arald stabbed another.
This is what the cover of the book looks like:
