The Sorcerer of the North (Ranger's Apprentice Book 5)

De inwoners van Skandia en Araluen leven inmiddels alweer vijf jaar in vrede met elkaar. Will heeft, nu hij zelf tot Grijze Jager is bevorderd, de verantwoordelijkheid over een eigen leen. Al snel blijkt dat hij, ook als leenheer, op zijn hoede moet blijven. Niet alleen zijn eigen stukje land kent problemen, ook in het hoge Noorden rommelt het. Daar schijnt een afgelegen leen te worden geteisterd door duistere magische krachten. Samen met zijn vriendin Alyss gaat hij op onderzoek uit, om tot de ontdekking te komen dat er wel heel erg onverklaarbare dingen gebeuren.

De boog kwam omhoog tot Will wist dat hij precies de juiste hoek bereikt had. Als iemand hem op dat moment gevraagd had hóé hij dat wist, had hij hem geen duidelijk antwoord kunnen geven. Het was gewoon instinct, geholpen door jaren van trainen. Hij hield automatisch rekening met de wind, de richting ervan én de kracht. Even wachtte hij nog. De linkerhand, die de boog vasthield, was helemaal niet gespannen; door de vorm van het hout kon hij de boog stevig vasthouden zonder te hoeven knijpen. De wijsvinger van zijn rechterhand lag tegen zijn mondhoek, de pees met drie vingers volledig uitgetrokken, één boven en twee onder de pijl.

Hij ademde rustig uit. Vagelijk voelde hij zijn eigen hart kalm slaan. Toen liet hij de pees gaan, allebei zijn handen ontspannen als daarvoor. De boog bewoog alleen aan de uiteinden. Het hele proces, vanaf dat hij de boog omhoog had gestoken, had nog geen vier seconden geduurd.

Het was ironisch, maar juist door jaren oefenen mislukte het schot.

Another shift here. We are getting darker. Will (and our series) is growing up

Such a fun middlegrade series. The translation is a bit awkward (or maybe it's also the original writing), but I really enjoy the story!

On his first top-secret mission, can the Ranger Will save a new ally from a terrible curse? Five years have passed since the Skandians and the Araluans made their treaty, and Will has finally become a Ranger, with his own fief to look after. He soon learns that even sleepy little islands have problems to keep him on his toes. Then he and his old friend Alyss are thrown into a terrifying new adventure, investigating the truth behind rumours of sorcery in a remote northern fief. As he stands in Grimsdell Forest, with the horrific, ghostly Night Warrior looming over him, Will must ask himself one question: is there a rational explanation . . . or does sorcery really exist? Note: Ranger's Apprentice Book 7: Erak's Ransom takes place before the events of Books 5 and 6. You might like to read Book 7 first.
