The Siege of Macindaw

Ranger's Apprentice

Content Ratings

Mild Romance

Will's relationship with Alyss is central to his motivation in this adventure; their feelings for each other are emotionally significant but handled with restraint.

Mild Themes

Loyalty, the cost of military command, and the courage required to lead and take responsibility for others are central.

Moderate Violence

Siege warfare, combat with castle defenders, and a rescue mission create sustained military action; violence is adventure-appropriate but more sustained than earlier entries.

Synopsis

Will must lead a ragtag alliance of Skandian warriors to recapture the castle of Macindaw from a traitor who has allied with the Scotti and holds Alyss prisoner. A fast-paced action story with a strong siege sequence and Will's growing tactical confidence on full display.
