This quartet opener, a highly-skilled fantasy by a senior Australian screenwriter, presents a group of five teens raised in the medieval-like kingdom of Araluen, with an emphasis on drilling, the intelligent will for a mysterious scout/spy, and Will's evolving ties with Horace. While Will's mild physics holds him away from his school of combat, his first choice is only the ticket for Ranger's job, which combines survival skills and observation with the ability to walk unnoticed.

With the help of a trio of especially brutal bullies, Horace finds Battleschool more than he can handle — and in a further field, the evil Lord Morgarath bent on conquest, sent out two kalkera, brutal bears, to assassinate Araluen's most prominent war leaders.
