Ranger's Apprentice - The Burning Bridge

The Celtic villages and mines, however, lie abandoned. Three messengers only discover why when they find a hungry and exhausted girl. She reveals that Morgarath has sent his foul creatures to enslave the Celts. While Gilan rides back to Araluen at speed to report to the king, Will and Horace uncover the true reason for Morgarath's actions. A surprise three-pronged attack is being prepared, and the Kingdom of Araluen faces a devastating defeat – unless our two friends do something to prevent it!
