The Rangers, with their eerie cloaks and enigmatic ways, have always terrified him. The locals think the Rangers use magic to make themselves undetectable to the general public. And now Will, 15, who has always been undersized for his age, has been selected to be an apprentice for a Ranger. He is unaware that the Rangers are the kingdom's guardians at this point. They fight the wars before the people do, having received extensive training in both combat and surveillance techniques. And a big fight is developing, as Will is going to find out. Lord of the Mountains of Rain and Night, Morgarath, who was banished, is assembling his army to launch an assault on the kingdom. He's not going to be refused this time.
