Will is an orphan who lives under the protection of a baron in the kingdom of Araluen. When it comes time for all the young people under the protection of the baron to be taught their trade (or future profession), Will is told he will become a Ranger. Will is not sure he wants to be a Ranger, but he begins his training. During his training, he works harder than he has ever worked in his life. He learns how to shoot with a bow and arrow, how to move in the forest without being seen, and many other skills to help him protect his kingdom.

This story is chock full of adventure, hard work, and excitement. You will cheer on Will as he changes from a boy into someone who can protect other people.
