The Ruins of Gorlan

About “The Ruins of Gorlan”

Will, a 15-year-old boy who is often small for his age, has been chosen as an apprentice to the Rangers, a group feared by the villagers for their dark cloaks and shadowy ways. The villagers believe the Rangers use magic to remain invisible. However, the Rangers are actually the kingdom's protectors, trained in battle and surveillance to stop threats before they reach the people. Will soon learns that a large battle is coming, as Morgarath, the exiled Lord of the Mountains of Rain and Night, is gathering forces for an attack on the kingdom. This is the first book in a series by John Flanagan, which includes titles such as The Ruins of Gorlan, The Burning Bridge, and The Icebound Land.
