John Flanagan Boeken

In het tweede deel zijn Hal en de bemanning van de 'Reiger' de piraat Zavac op het spoor, die de kostbaarste schat van de Skandiërs heeft gestolen: de Andomal. Door een flinke storm op zee is Hal gedwongen om een schuilplaats te zoeken voor de winter. Terwijl ze wachten, hebben Hal en zijn jongens alle tijd om hun vechttechniek te verbeteren en een plan te bedenken voor als ze de piraten gevonden hebben. Want dan gaat het echte werk pas beginnen... Zal het ze lukken om de machtige Zavac en zijn bende te verslaan?

In Skandia kun je maar op één manier een echte krijger worden. Jongens worden uitgekozen voor een team, 'broederband' genoemd, en krijgen drie maandan lang een intensieve training, waarin ze leren omgaan met schepen en wapens, en zich allerlei gevechtstechnieken eigen moeten maken. Het gaat hard tegen hard, want er kan maar één broederband winnen. Dit jaar zijn er te veel jongens om de gebruikelijke twee teams te vormen. Daarom moet er een derde groep komen. Als Hal Mikkelson ongevraagd de leider wordt van die derde broederband, De Reigers, die bestaat uit de minst populaire jongens, zit er voor hem niets anders op dan de uitdaging aan te nemen. Zijn team bestaat misschien niet uit de allersterksten, maar met hun creativiteit, slimme trucs en moed zouden zij iedereen nog wel eens versteld kunnen doen staan...

Will, you have been chosen. You and you alone. You will become the eyes and ears of the kingdom, learning to move silent as a shadow. Your arrow will fly true and your sword will be swift, risking your life to protect your people. You are the Ranger's Apprentice. Are you ready?

Hal and his brotherband crew are hot on the trail of the pirate Zavac and they have one thing only on their minds: stopping the bloodthirsty thief before he can do more damage. The chase leads down mighty rivers, terrifying rapids, to the lawless fortress of Ragusa. If Hal is to succeed, he will need to go beyond his brotherband training.

When Halt and Crowley discover that the ambitious Morgarath has been infiltrating the Rangers in order to corrupt the corps and, ultimately, steal the throne, they seek a royal warrant to stop him before it is too late. Yet when Halt and Crowley arrive in Gorlan, they discover just how close Morgarath's scheme is to taking root. Prince Duncan has already been taken prisoner and an imposter installed in his place. All the while, Morgarath has been earning trust and admiration from the Council of Barons while he secretly assembles a powerful force of his own. If the young Rangers are to prevent the coup from succeeding, they will need to prove their mettle in battles the like of which neither has ever faced . . . This origin story brings readers to a time before Will was a Ranger's apprentice, and lays the groundwork for the epic battles that have already captivated fans of the Ranger's Apprentice series around the world. Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkienâe(tm)s Lord of the Rings, T.H. Whiteâe(tm)s The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paoliniâe(tm)s Eragon series and Rick Riordanâe(tm)s Percy Jackson series.

From the author of the global phenomenon Ranger's Apprentice! Hal and the Herons have done the impossible. This group of outsiders has beaten out the strongest, most skilled young warriors in all of Skandia to win the Brotherband competition. But their celebration comes to an abrupt end when the Skandians' most sacred artifact, the Andomal, is stolen--and the Herons are to blame. To find redemption they must track down the thief Zavac and recover the Andomal. But that means traversing stormy seas, surviving a bitter winter, and battling a group of deadly pirates willing to protect their prize at all costs.
