The first book in the prequel series to Rangers throws you in to action, mystery, and suspense. This book can either be read before or after the Ranger's Apprentice series (I recommend that if you haven't yet read the Ranger's Apprentice series you do read this before because the Ranger's Apprentice series contains some spoilers). As a warning the book's plot may slow down at times but it will speed back up again. Though the plot may be slow at times the rest is full of action packed fast paced scenes that will throw you head first in to battles, trials of wit and brains, and tactical struggles. A good choice
