Ranger's Apprentice: The Early Years series.
This Ranger's Apprentice prequel series continues with newly crowned King Duncan on the run from Morgarath's Wargal army. Halt and Crowley's clever tactics stall Morgarath's beasts before Duncan's army makes a heroic stand at Hackham Heath. The Rangers' wry humor and preternatural resourcefulness are as enjoyable as ever, while Flanagan's divergence into military tactics opens up new avenues for cunning disguise.

Ranger's Apprentice: The Early Years series.
A younger Crowley and Halt join forces with other falsely disgraced Rangers to rescue King Oswald and Prince Duncan from the machinations of Baron Morgarath, who attempts to seize the throne at the annual tournament. This prequel to the Ranger's Apprentice series features good-hearted joshing among the laconic Ranger Corps and stirring combat sequences against Morgarath and his craven henchmen.
