You're a dead man, Arratay," Jerrel said through clenched teeth. Halt smiled. "That's been said before. Yet here I am. — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
Would you trust him with your life, Halt?" Gilan interrupted, and Halt looked up at him. "Yes," he said quietly. Gilan patted… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
What the devil is Chocho?' Will whispered. Horace's grin broadened. 'You are. It's what the men call you,' he said. Then he… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
The two girls disappeared into the stern cabin once more. Will watched them go, then asked Halt, 'Anything you'd like me to… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
I nearly forgot, Ragnak had a further message for you. He said if we lose this battle and loses his slaves as… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
Relax? he repeated incredulously. You're going to fight an armored knight with nothing more than a bow and you tell me to… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
I'll think of something," he temporized, and Horace nodded wisely, satisfied that Halt would indeed think of something. In Horace's world, that… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
Bear with me on this, Evanlyn. I know you're anxious about Horace." WIll was a little puzzled by Halt's words. "No more… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
You will be getting a haircut, won't you?" Halt ran his hand through his hair. It was getting a little long, he… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
Take one more step and I'll put an arrow through you." Will tried to model his voice on the quiet, threatening tone… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
Gundar seemed to come to a decision. "Well, as my old mam used to say, if it looks like a duck and… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
You had this young man with you for... what, six years?" Halt shrugged. "Near enough," he replied. "And did you ever understand… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
Halt," said the elegant diplomat, "when you asked me to marry you, did you think we could just sneak off to a… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
“The Rangers were founded over one hundred and fifty years ago, in King Herbert's reign. Do you know anything about him?" Halt… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
“Gundar, seeing Halt upright for the first time in two days, stumped up the deck to join them. 'Back on your feet… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
Once again Erak bellowed with laughter. "Your master here went nearly the same shade of green as his cloak," he told Will.… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
“But...' Horace looked from one familiar face to another. 'How did you come to..?' Before he could finish the question, Will interupted,… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
“Gilan,” she said, “you’re looking well.” And apart from those wrinkles, he was. He smiled at her. “And you grow more beautiful… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
You spoil your horse, Halt said. Will glanced at him. You spoil yours. Halt considered the thought, then nodded. That's true. — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
You're dropping the bow hand as you release," he called, although Halt certainly wasn't. His mentor looked around, saw him, and replied… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
You're a very amusing fellow," he told Halt. "I'd like to brain you with my ax one of these days." Erak to… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
Well, we can ride together for a while longer. The highway south is farther along this way. I'll be glad of some… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
Ah, Signor Halt,' he said uncertainly, 'you are making a joke, yes?' 'He is making a joke, no,' Will said. 'But he… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
Remember no one expects you to be Halt. He's a legend, after all. Haven't you heard? He's eight feet tall and kills… — John Flanagan Copy Share Image
Face your fears, Halt had always thought him, and more often than not they fade like mist in the sunshine — John Flanagan Copy Share Image

What about you three, where are you going?" Even before Halt answered, Will knew what he was going to say. But that didn't make… — John Flanagan Copy Share
“There's a tavern by the docks. He's there most evenings." "Then I'll talk to him tonight," Halt said. "You can try. But he's a… — John Flanagan Copy Share
The sun was trembling on the brink of the world, the shadows at their longest, and they still had several kilometers to go. — John Flanagan Copy Share
We're going to see Ragnak," Halt told him. "He's going to have to promise to free every slave who fights for Hallasholm." Will shook… — John Flanagan Copy Share
“We must wait," she said. "They are involved in important buisness." Her tone was serious, almost reverntial. The two of them stopped, some five… — John Flanagan Copy Share
So I'm an ace?' Will grinned. 'I'm flattered Halt, flattered. I had no idea you regarded me so highly.' Halt gave him a long-suffering… — John Flanagan Copy Share
“They sailed into Raguza and Hal said, as bold as brass, “We’ve come to challenge Zavac and we plan to kick his—” — John Flanagan Copy Share
Are there bears in these mountains?" he asked. His companion nodded. "Of course. But it's a bit early in the year for them to… — John Flanagan Copy Share
Well I'm not dancing," Will said through gritted teeth. "I don't know how." Oh yes you are," Alyss told him. "Let's hope you're a… — John Flanagan Copy Share
Well, we can ride together for a while longer. The highway south is farther along this way. I'll be glad of some cheerful company."… — John Flanagan Copy Share

Maybe we should have gone with him," he said, a few minutes after his friend was lost to sight. "Three of us would make… — John Flanagan Copy Share
