    A cult has sprung up in the neighbouring country of Clonmel. The leaders of this cult call them selves The Outsiders and promise the protection of their false god in exchange for gold to "build alters." The people agree redily after some planned attacks by bandits. The people may be fool, but the Ranger's aren't.

Eragon Cake





Isn't this awesome! I mean, who ever thought of making a book out of cake? I love it! If I had this cake, I probably wouldn't eat it, though. That's the problem with making food pretty, you can't eat it because you like it so much.


**I did not make this. I wish I did, but if I tried, it would probably fall apart. I saw it on the Facebook tab on the side of Ranger's Apprentice Australia website.

373 pages

    Erak, the Skandian Oberjarl, has been captured by a desert tribe. Will, Halt, Horace, and Evanlyn set out to rescue him, but the desert is much different than anywhere they have been before. The maps they have do little good, since no one goes to the desert and there are many tribes with many strange laws. While kidnapping is normal for some of the tribes, Will and Halt soon realize that there is someone else behind this. Someone who has something against Erak and his alliance with King Duncan.
