About this book
Maddie and her mentor, Will Treaty, are dispatched to Celtica after alarming reports of massive, misshapen dire wolves and whispers of a powerful sorceress named Arazan. As they track the attacks across rugged hills, mines, and forests, the Rangers must separate superstition from truth, confront a terrifying pack, and face an enemy who wields fear and illusion to control a people. The mission tests Maddie’s growing Ranger skills and forces Will to reckon with his past in Celtica while both fight to protect the innocent.
Setting: Celtica and the western reaches of the Ranger’s Apprentice world (medieval-inspired forests, mines, villages, and hill country)
