Rangers Apprentice

This book is about a person named Will who wanted to go to battleschool but got rejected. Halt a stealthy Ranger accepted him as a Ranger's apprentice. Rangers are basically people who catch criminals or act as scouts in war.  Will thought that the rangers' weapons, bow and a saxe knife and a throwing knife were quite useless but he found them quite useful in fights. Lately the rangers think that Morgaroth an evil guy is planning a war and he sent some powerful creatures named the Kalkara to assassinate the king's strongest men.  Two had already died. This time Halt and Will and one of Halt's former apprentices were going to track the Kalkara down but got ambushed by them.  Baron Arald was fast enough to get there and kill the Kalkara.  One had died but the other one wounded the Baron and dazed Sir Rodney with its hypnotizing eye.  Halt could do nothing  Then Will saw a torch still lit by the Baron on the ground and remembered that the Kalkaras are afraid of fire.   He dipped his arrow in the fire and shot it straight at the Kalkara.  It tried to swipe the flames off but it just spread on its hand and it soon got burnt to death. To be continued.
