    <![CDATA[Will’s first adventure as a full-fledged Ranger!<br/><br/>Time has passed since the apprentice and his master, Will and Halt, led the Araluens to victory against invaders, and Will is now a full-fledged Ranger with his own fief to look after. The fief seems sleepy -- boring, even -- until the king is poisoned. Joined by his friend Alyss, Will is thrown headfirst into an extraordinary adventure propelled by fears of sorcery, and must determine who is trustworthy to the king and who is trying to take his throne.<br/><br/>Will and Alyss must battle growing hysteria, traitors, and most of all, time. The king is fading, but when Alyss is taken hostage, Will is forced to make a desperate choice between loyalty to his mission and loyalty to his friend.<br/><br/>Adventure abounds in this absorbing installment of the New York Times bestselling series. ]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I have generally enjoyed John Flanagan's &quot;Ranger's Apprentice&quot; series. And &quot;The Sorcerer in the North&quot; is at least as good as any of the others.  HOWEVER--and this is a big complaint--I only gave this one 3 stars out of 5 because IT ENDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORY!  Huh?<br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44012046">more...</a>]]></body>
