Learn moreThe bestselling epic continues!
Hal and his brotherband crew are hot on the trail of the pirate Zavac and they have one thing only on their minds: Stopping the bloodthirsty thief before he can do more damage. Of course, they also know Zavac has the Andomal, the priceless Skandian artifact stolen when the brotherband let down their guard. The chase leads down mighty rivers, terrifying rapids, to the lawless fortress of Ragusa. If Hal is to succeed, he will need to go beyond his brotherband training. He will need to challenge the pirate one-on-one, knowing only one of them will survive.
The epic series from Ranger's Apprentice author John Flanagan continues, delivering pulse-pounding adventure and fun.
John Flanagan grew up in Sydney, Australia. Hoping to be a writer, and after a successful career in advertising and television, he began writing a series of short stories for his son in order to encourage him to read. Those stories would eventually become The Ruins of Gorlan, the first book of the Ranger’s Apprentice epic. Together with his companion series, Brotherband Chronicles, John Flanagan’s novels have sold millions of copies and made readers of kids all over the world. Mr. Flanagan lives in the suburb of Manly, Australia, with his wife. In addition to their son, they have two grown daughters and four grandsons.
John Keating's numerous acting credits include Roundabout Theatre’s production of Juno and the Paycock, as well as various parts with the Irish Repertory Theater and the Irish Arts Center.

Reviews
Picking up the story soon after events in The Invaders (2012), this engaging sequel opens aboard the Heron as Hal, his fellow Skandians, and their friend Lydia sail up a river in search of Zavac, the ruthless pirate who has stolen a precious relic from their village. Welcome humor lessens the dramatic tension at times, and the shipmates’ individuality and comradeship make their adventures more meaningful. [This] novel provides a satisfying conclusion to the three-book cycle that opened with The Outcasts (2011). [A] vigorous offshoot of the Ranger’s Apprentice series.—Booklist
