This story picks up from where we left Will, Halt, Horace, and the others in the first book. In this book, Halt and Will are separated and Will must learn to trust his own judgement and abilities. While Halt is left at Redmont to prepare for the upcoming battle against Morgarath, Will, Gilan & Horace are sent to call for reinforcements from Celtica.
Upon arrival at Celtica, however, they find the villages completely abandoned. They gain a bit of information when they run into a couple of bandits. They also come across a girl named Evanlyn, who escaped an attack by Wargals on her and her companions.
Gilan leaves the party to take urgent word of their discoveries to the King, leaving Will in charge of getting the others back. Along the way, they are passed by a group of Wargals leading a group of Celt prisoners, so Will decides to follow them in an attempt to determine what Morgarath's plan is with regards to the Celt miners being taken as prisoners.
Will, Horace and Evanlyn discover vital information regarding Morgarath's plans but don't have sufficient time to get the information back to the King and the army. Will devises a plan in an attempt to thwart Morgarath's plans.
Does Will's plan succeed? Can the Kingdom's army defeat Morgarath and his army? Find out in this, the second book of The Ranger's Apprentice.
I rate this book 4/5. You won't want to put this book down, and you will be eager to read the next installment of this series once you're done reading this book.
