Ranger’s Apprentice:
Book 5 Sorcerer of the North.
Up in Norgate fife the baron of the outpost of castle Macindaw
is struck down with a “sickness.” Will has
to be disguised because the people of Norgate think a sorcerer is the cause of
the sickness. With superstition running high Rangers must be extremely careful,
so Will goes as a jongleur with his lute (mandolin). As his
disguise is good (he still must be careful) he has to use the re-curve bow, but
this time made out of metal so it fits his disguise. As he rides he makes money
at taverns and inns using his newly found skill, playing the mandole. Finally, he
reaches the castle, very forbidding and dark, at the castle he gets a room and
warm food. He also sees dark forbidding woods, more so than the castle, while
he looked out the window that night. The next night he goes out to take a look
in the woods for information there he meats a strangely large warrior. As this
happens Alyss comes to help him then they venture into the wood and meat Will
mysterious warrior. With further exploration they find a clearing where they
meet Macollom who is an expert healer. Than later in the week baron Orman is
poisoned and will has to make a split second decision whether to believe Oman
and save him or let him die. This journey
is dark and perilous. Will he survive?
