Ranger's Apprentice

About the series

Will is an orphan growing up at Castle Redmont. He dreams of becoming a knight, but he is too small for Battleschool. Instead he is offered an apprenticeship with a Ranger, one of the kingdom’s mysterious hunters, whom people fear and do not understand.

Will learns to shoot a bow, move unseen and think his way out of trouble instead of fighting his way out of it. He will need all of it, because an old enemy is gathering his strength.

The first book is The Ruins of Gorlan, published in Danish as Gorlans ruiner. The series is exciting, easy to read and a good fit for readers who like adventures won by cunning instead of magic.
