Rowan's Apprentice: Ruins of Varrok

(This is a fan fiction of Rangers Apprentice)

Two best friends, Jadon and Wil are small for their ages, but agile and energetic. All their life, they have dreamed of becoming great knights like Wil's father, that he never knew, so they are devastated when they are both rejected as apprentices to Castle Faldore's Battleschool. Instead they are both apprenticed to Rowan, the mysterious Ranger whose uncanny ability to move unseen is thought to be the result of black magic. Reluctantly, Jadon and Wil learn to use a Ranger's secret weapons: a bow and arrow, a mottled cloak and a stubborn little pony. It may not be the sword and battlehorse they both longed for, but when Jadon, Wil and Rowan set out on a desperate mission to prevent the assassination of the King, the two friends from the orphanage, find that a Ranger's weapons are not so useless after all . . .
