When Erak, the Skandian Oberjarl, is taken hostage during a raid on the desert lands to the south of the Constant Sea, his second-in-command, Svengal, is sent to bring back a ransom for Erak's release.
Halt and Will must go with Svengal to deliver the ransom and secure Erak's freedom, but a royal presence is needed too. The Princess Cassandra - or Evanlyn, as Will knows her - persuades her father to let her go with them. Horace and the Ranger Gilan round out the group to make sure that Evanlyn is well protected. But will violent sandstorms, warring tribes and danger at every turn keep them from reaching Erak in time?
The seventh book takes us back to the final year of Will's apprenticeship, before the events related in Books 5 and 6.

When I read book six I was really disappointed to not find out what happened in Will's final year of training. Then when I started this one, I got really excited. I loved this book. It showed, I believe a much more in-depth side of Will and how he got to where is he in book six. Although, I was really sad when I found out that *spoiler* Tug went missing and he had to fight to get him back! I couldn't put it down until I found out what happened to Tug!

LOL! Same here! I actually skipped ahead a hundred pages or so to see if Tug was mentioned as being with Will. Once he was, I calmed down and could enjoy the book.  |

The one thing I found odd about this book was that there was a whole lot of suspense about Tug missing and Halt about to die, but you knew he would be alright because in books 4 and 5 he is alive and Tug is with Will.

Oh of course, but because I was so wrapped up in the book, I didn't actually think of that. |

Yeah good point. I also think he did a good job of showing the true Will and describing him and how he felt as he grew up.

mmhmm, agreed. I have to admit I do like the Bedullin group.

ooo  Yeah I like the Bedullin group too. Especially when the leader punches Will and his wife gets mad. I thought that was kinda funny...even though the guy almost killed him. But it also made the Bedullin leader trust Will and become friends with him, too. |

lol, I agree. I tend to find that throughout the books I tend to have a laugh here and there, I'm sure I've gotten some strange looks when I'm reading the book outside of home.

I tend to find if I take a book on the bus to uni and I have a big smile on my face people kinda don't sit next to me. I wonder why?....lol.
Anyway, we probably should get back on topic, lol.

I actually find myself laughing out loud when reading the books. Book 9 had me practically in tears!  |
