The Skandian leader has been captured by a dangerous desert tribe. The Rangers and young Will, apprentice to the Ranger Halt, are sent to free him.But the desert is like nothing these warriors have seen before.

Like a desert mirage, nothing is as it seems. Yet one thing is constant – the bravery of the Rangers.
