Publisher's summary

From the author of the mega-selling Ranger's Apprentice!

Hal and his fellow Herons have returned home to Skandia after defeating the pirate Captain Zavac and reclaiming Skandia's most prized artifact, the Andomal. With their honor restored, the Herons turn to a new mission: tracking down an old rival turned bitter enemy.

Tursgud - leader of the Shark Brotherband and Hal's constant opponent - has turned from a bullying youth into a pirate and slave trader. After Tursgud captures 12 Araluen villagers to sell as slaves, the Heron crew sails into action...with the help of one of Araluen's finest Rangers!

In this fourth audiobook in the Brotherband Chronicles, a new battle unfolds as old rivalries are renewed, peace treaties are put to the test, and the action builds to a pulse-pounding finale. Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, T.H. White's The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paolini's Eragon series, and George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire series.

I’d like a slightly better explanation of how the sailing works.

The twins were extremely amusing, and I liked the barn jokes favorite series I’ve read.

I love this series!

I love Brotherband books. One of my 8th graders told me about the series. I bought the first one (paperback) and by chapter 3 I got the book on audible. The reader has a great voice and inflection. He really helps the characters come alive.

Enjoyable

I really liked the connection of these two worlds, Hal’s crew meets a ranger.
And more development of other characters.
My only complaint was the final encounter with an old antagonist seemed sudden and remote.
