Retired Ranger Halt O'Carrick has survived many trials. A murderous brother, an impossible war, thousands of missions, two apprentices, Skandia, Genovesan poison, and living with Pauline for years. But when a rare sickness takes him over in his old age, there's no cure to be found. Can he survive? Only Will and Maddie seem to believe that the disease isn't worthy of the old Ranger's life. On a quest to save Halt, both will need to make sacrifices and stay one step ahead of time. Can they do it, and will it be too late? And if they can, will that be the end? *All characters belong to John Flanagan. If I create a character, I will mention it in the same chapter!*

Well, we're in for it now. Halt, Will, Gilan, Cassandra, Alyss, & Horace have gotten their hands on keyboards at last. Join the cast of Ranger's Apprentice again on a bout of typing fun!
