Kidnapped after the fierce battle with Lord Morgarath, Will and Evanlyn are bound for Skandia as captives aboard a fearsome wolfship. Halt has sworn to rescue Will, and he will do anything to keep his promise–even defy his King. Expelled from the Rangers he has served so loyally, Halt is joined by Will's friend Horace as he travels toward Skandia. On their way, they are challenged constantly by freelance knights–but Horace knows a thing or two about combat. Soon he begins to attract the attention of knights and warlords for miles around with his uncanny skill. Even so, will they be in time to rescue Will from a horrific life of slavery?

this book is so good. Both of the stories in this story are so captivating and fun that I quite couldn't put this book down. Can't wait to continue the adventure in Skandia!
Overview: A rather sombre addition to this excellent fantasy series intended for younger readers.
More detailed thoughts: This series is an excellent introduction for younger readers to the epic fantasy genre. That said, be aware that this is a more serious episode than the previous two. It deals with the serious topics of slavery and drug addiction as well as being painfully, frighteningly cold. In my opinion it deals with these themes in a mature and appropriate way that educates while providing strong character development. At times things look pretty hopeless and depressing, but have faith in the author - the ending is not the simple one you might expect from a book aimed at younger readers - but it is deeply satisfying and I admit to having to give my eyes a little wipe at the final scene.
