Will, Horace, and Evanlyn decide to follow a small Wargal force. Gilan rides back to Araluen ahead of the others to tell the King that there will be no reinforcements from Celtica and that the Wargals are on the move. Evanlyn tells them that the Wargals have attacked Celtica and that everyone who has not been captured has fled. Before they reach their destination, they come across Evanlyn, a girl who claims to be a maid to an Araluen lady whose party was overtaken by Wargals, Morgarath's creatures. They discover that all the villagers are gone and the towns look like they were left hurriedly. Will, his friend Horace, and the Ranger Gilan are sent on a mission to deliver a message for the King to the neighbouring country of Celtica. Halt captures Morgarath's secret plans for battle. The Kalkara explodes in a flash of fire and the party returns to Redmont. Halt, Baron Arald and Sir Rodney all become incapacitated, but Will manages to defeat the last Kalkara by shooting it with a burning arrow, as fire is their one nemesis. When they return, Halt has managed to wound one of the Kalkara, which the Baron and Battlemaster finish off, but the other is stalking him. Believing Halt to be the intended victim, Will gets Baron Arald and the Battlemaster Sir Rodney to accompany him. Having discovered the Kalkaras' destination may be the capital where the king is, Will is sent to get Baron Arald and the Battlemaster Sir Rodney while Halt and Gilan contiue to follow the Kalkara. Will and Halt, accompanied by Halt's old apprentice, Gilan, set off to hunt down and kill the two Kalkara. While attending the annual Ranger meeting, The Gathering, Will and Halt discover that Morgarath, a former baron and now enemy of the kingdom, has sent fierce creatures, the Kalkara, to assassinate the top leaders of the kingdom. Will, reluctantly at first, begins to train as a Ranger, and gains confidence in his new skills. After breaking into the Baron's office to find out more about his past, Will becomes apprenticed to the Ranger Halt, because he passed the test Halt set for him. Each of the other four ward-mates are apprenticed to the craft of their choice, but Will is not chosen for anything. When the wards are fifteen, they are chosen to become apprenticed to a craft.
