Quick recap

Morgarath has escaped punishment for treason, and Araluen settles into an uneasy peace. Hiding in the Mountains of Rain and Night, the former baron is building an army of Wargals, brutal and overpowering creatures. The newly crowned King Duncan knows war is coming and has to ready his forces. Halt and Crowley suspect Morgarath is still plotting something. So Halt sets out on a dangerous mission: climb the deadly cliffs of the mountains and spy deep in enemy territory. One wrong move could decide the war. The Battle of Hackham Heath will settle the fate of the kingdom, and the book shows how Halt became Araluen's most famous Ranger.
