rangers apprentice missing brothers

i'm just gonna ask that you forget the story of wills parents yes his father died saving halt but what if his mother didn't and was in fact taken to scandia as a slave? the treaty between skandia and araluen is due for renewal so will and horace head off on the heron it should be a simple task but what if hal and wills paths happen to cross closer then expected? disclimer most characters are john flanagans and no amount of wishing on my part will change that lol
