If two kingdoms are to be saved, an unlikely alliance must be made.
John Flanagan's bestselling Ranger's Apprentice adventure series originally comprised twenty short stories, which John wrote to encourage his 12-old son, Michael, to enjoy reading. The series has come a long way since then. Now sold to more than twenty countries, the series regularly appears on the New York Times Bestseller List and has been shortlisted in children's book awards in Australia and overseas. John, a former television and advertising writer, lives with his wife, Leonie, in the Sydney beachside suburb of Manly. William Zappa’s award-winning career spans over 50 years, during which he has worked extensively in theatre, television and film. His work includes many book recordings and readings for ABC Radio and Bolinda audio for whom he recorded many of the Ranger’s Apprentice novels by John Flanagan. His most recent work includes his nine hour adaptation of The Iliad for the 2019 Sydney Festival The Iliad – Out Loud.

logically constructed campaign that culminates in a hard,
suspenseful battle.'

Apprentice series.'

'Fans of the series will eagerly devour this one and wait
impatiently for the next ... A sure bet for fantasy fans.'
