Ranger's Apprentice The Royal Ranger by John Flanagan

A New Beginning

A seasoned Ranger, reeling from a devastating loss, reluctantly takes on a rebellious princess as his apprentice—the first female in the Corps. As he teaches her the arts of stealth, archery, and tracking, the unlikely pair investigate a rash of child disappearances, uncover a ruthless smuggling ring, and stage a perilous rescue. In the process, mentor and student forge a bond that begins to heal old wounds and proves that courage, compassion, and cleverness are not bound by tradition.
