Summary: Will is small for his age, but fast and quick-witted. All his life he has dreamed of becoming a great knight like the father he never knew, so he is devestated when he is rejected by Castel Redmont's Battleschool. Insted he is apprenticed to Halt, the mysterious Ranger whose uncanny ability to move unseen is thought to be the result of black magic. Reluctantly, Will learns to use a Ranger's secret weapons: a bow and arrows, a mottled cloak and a stubborn little pony. It may not be the sword and battlehorse he longs for, but when Will and Halt set off on a desperate mission to prevent the assassination of the King, Will finds that a Ranger's weapons are not useless after all.
