Will, and orphan, has grown up a ward of Castle Redmont and now he's 15 and it's time for him and the others in his group to become apprenticed. He wants to be a knight like the father he never met, but he's too small to be chosen. Instead, he's chosen to be a Ranger's apprentice and learn the mysterious ways of themse men whom the villagers believe can disappear. In reality, this secretive corps uses stealth and skill to uncover information to help the kingdom--sort of like a medieval CIA. If you liked Eragon, you'll love the first installment in the Ranger's Apprentice series.
