4-6Ranger's Apprentice series.
While studying new fighting techniques in Nihon-Ja (think Shogun Japan), Horace is caught up defending the emperor during a coup. Rangers Will and Halt, Princess Cassandra, Alyss, and Selethen come to his aid, with a number of tricks up their sleeves. Familiar, likable characters, new combat tactics, and an enjoyable level of tension reward readers of this "final battle."
