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?
