Bookroo's summary

Will, now a fledgling protector, faces chaos as a rogue knight seizes Castle Macindaw, poisons royalty, and captures his friend Alyss. With a secret alliance threatening invasion, Will must rally an unlikely team to rescue Alyss and reclaim the castle before it's too late. Can he outwit the enemy and save his land from ruin?

From the publisher

After years as a Ranger’s apprentice, Will is now the protector of his first fief. Not long into his service, everything that can go wrong does: Keren, a renegade knight, has taken over Castle Macindaw, a strategic gateway to the North–poisoning the royal family in the process–and is holding Will’s friend Alyss captive. The situation grows direr when Will uncovers Keren’s secret alliance with the Scotti, who have plans to plunder Araluen. Time is of the essence, and Will must recruit a motley crew to rescue Alyss and reclaim Castle Macindaw–before the Scotti can make it their own.
