Before they became the most famous Ranger in the land and the hard-working Ranger Commandant, Halt and Crowley were young friends determined to change the world.

The scheming Baron Morgarath is drawing other power-hungry knights and barons to his banner. King Oswald is wasting away and, if gossip can be believed, Prince Duncan is causing havoc in the north. Halt and Crowley set out to find the prince, uncover the truth, and re-form the weakened Ranger Corps.

Once-loyal Rangers are scattered across the country, and it will take determination, skill, and leadership if they are to come together as one. Can the Rangers regain the trust of the Kingdom, or will the cunning Morgarath outwit them at every turn?

Ranger's Apprentice The Early Years 1: The Tournament at Gorlan is an enthralling prequel adventure from John Flanagan that explores the origins of the legendary Rangers. Immerse yourself in a story filled with courage, loyalty, and the never-ending battle between good and evil.
