Ranger's Apprentice: Quest for a Princess

~This story is obviously a Ranger's Apprentice fanfic. It takes place before book eleven. (There are also a few relationship changes; Cassandra and Horace are in love, but aren't married. Also, Jenny and Gilan are not together.)

When the special task force of Halt, Will, and Horace are on a mission to Skandia with the Crown Princess Cassandra, (a.k.a. Evanlyn) to renew the treaty between Skandia and Araluen, they are ambushed on the way back by pirates, and Cassandra is taken prisoner.

The Skandians are completely unprepared for another group of raiders both skilled in fighting and sailing, that have ships even larger than the Skandian's wolfships. The pirates' nationality is unheard of by both Skandia and Araluen, so a quest is sent out to not only rescue Cassandra, but also discover more about the strange men and their country.

Along the way, everyone's favorite heroes, Will, Halt, and Horace, team up with old faces, like the Heron brotherband and Emperor Shigeru, and they also meet new characters, both friend and foe.
