A continuation and expansion of the Ranger's Apprentice series, this sequel series follows the now-adult former apprentice as he takes on an apprentice of his own — the daughter of a deceased friend — and trains her in the ways of the Rangers while facing new threats to the kingdom. The series maintains the action-adventure tone and medieval fantasy setting of the original while shifting focus to a new central dynamic between mentor and student.
Years after the original series, Will Treaty takes on a new apprentice—Princess Maddie, who is reluctant and resistant—while dealing with the grief of a major personal loss and the demands of mentorship. The beginning of a new generation for the Ranger's Apprentice world, with emotional weight from the very first page.
Back in Araluen, Maddie and Will investigate a dangerous conspiracy by a political faction called the Red Fox Clan that threatens the kingdom's stability, with Maddie taking an undercover role that tests her Ranger skills in a domestic setting. A politically-focused adventure that adds complexity to the series' world.
Will and Maddie travel to a northern land to investigate mysterious raiders whose faces are painted white, and Maddie faces her first real test as a Ranger in training when she must operate alone under genuine threat. A strong second Royal Ranger adventure that develops Maddie as a protagonist and continues the tone of the new generation.
