About this listen

The Royal Ranger is back, and the stakes are higher than ever in the world of Ranger's Apprentice!

Castle Araluen is well protected against attackers - but what if the enemy is already inside?

King Duncan and Princess Cassandra are trapped high in the south tower of Castle Araluen. In the north, Sir Horace and Ranger Commandant Gilan are besieged in an old hill fort as they wait for the Red Fox Clan's next attack. Ranger's apprentice Maddie must find the Heron brotherband and convince them to join her, so she can give her father the help he needs to break out from the hill fort and ride to confront the traitor.

Will they reach Castle Araluen in time? And when the battles have been fought and the dust has settled, who will rule the Kingdom of Araluen?

Sadly this will be the last of the Ranger audiobooks I shall be purchasing. If you’ve listened to the earlier Rangers Apprentice audiobooks narrated by William Zappa you’ll understand the frustration over the change in narrator. I’m afraid Mr Keating just doesn’t do it for me with his style of reading. The, seemingly random, pauses in his narrative makes it feel like he’s reading the book for the first time as he’s recording it. A narrator can make a huge difference to how a book is received and, unfortunately, the difference here is negative for me.
The story was, as usual, well written and keeps up the pace nicely to the final showdown at Castle Araluen.
