Will Treaty and his apprentice, Maddie have been urgently summoned to Castle Araluen. When they arrive they learn a shocking truth: the Prince of Gallica is missing—and the King of Gallica has asked for help. All reports suggest that the young prince has been taken prisoner by the dangerous and powerful Baron Joubert de Lassigny. King Duncan knows that sending troops to Gallica to rescue the prince could start a war, as could openly helping Gallica resolve internal convict. But there's another way to save the prince: the Ranger Corps.
Soon, Will and Maddie are on the road to rescue the missing prince, disguised as father and daughter jongleurs. Maddie will have to use her knifethrowing skills to keep up her disguise, and her ranger's apprentice training to complete the mission. But going undercover is dangerous—and the road presents its own hazards. Can she and Will use all their talents to save the prince, or will the arrogant Baron uncover their plans and put their lives, and their kingdom, at risk?
Internationally bestselling author of the Ranger's Apprentice and Brotherband series, John Flanagan returns in the captivating next installment of the Royal Ranger series: The Royal Ranger: The Missing Prince. Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien, Brian Jacques's Redwall, and George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones!

John Keating's experience narrating the Ranger's Apprentice series and his familiarity with the characters add richness to his performance. Set 20 years after the last installment, the story focuses on Will Treaty, now the Royal Ranger, who is set on avenging the murder of his wife, Alice. At the same time, his close friends, Cassandra and Horace, fail to control their rebellious daughter, Maddie. To solve both problems, Halt, Will's former mentor, suggests that Will train Maddie as the first female Ranger. Maddie's transformation from the petulant princess to accomplished apprentice is beautifully paced by Keating. He weaves Will's calm patience with Maddie's eager curiosity to showcase their unique relationship. The two different Irish accents of Halt and Gillan, the Corps Commander, pair nicely with the British accents of the other characters. M.F.T. (c) AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
