For years, the Kingdom or Araluen has prospered, with the evil Lord Morgarath safely imprisoned by impassable mountains. For years, its people have felt secure. But the scheming hand of the dark lord has not been idle...On special mission for the Rangers, Will and his friend Horace, an apprentice knight, travel to a neighboring village and discover the unsettling truth: All the villagers have been either slain or captured. But for what purpose? could it be that Morgarath has finally devised a plan to bring his legions over the supposedly insurmountable pass? If so, the King's army is in imminent danger of being crushed in a fierce ambush.
And Will and Horace are the only ones who can help them.
Violence
A few fight scenes.
Language
Damn is used 7 times, what the hell comes out once, the Lord's name is misused 7 times. Someone says "Pull like hell" and "Died and gone to hell."
Sexual content
Some bandits are forced to strip to their underwear, and their clothes thrown into a gorge to prevent their following Will and Horace.
Other Negative Elements
The Skandians seem to be based on Norse, so they have their own unique set of gods, to whom they swear. The Celts worship gods of fire and metal.
Amazing book! Loved it! Great followup! I really don't have anything bad to say about it. Rated PG for mild language and some violence.
Notice: To those of you going to load up: Book Seven, Erak's Ransom should be read after Book Four, The Battle for Skandia.
