Synopsis

International bestselling author John Flanagan returns to world of Ranger's Apprentice in the fourth installment of the Royal Ranger series starring Maddie, Will Treaty's fearless young apprentice.

Will Treaty and his apprentice, Maddie have been urgently summoned to Castle Araluen. When they arrive they learn a shocking truth: the Prince of Gallica is missing--and the King of Gallica has asked for help. All reports suggest that the young prince has been taken prisoner by the dangerous and powerful Baron Joubert de Lassigny. King Duncan knows that sending troops to Gallica to rescue the prince could start a war, as could openly helping Gallica resolve internal convict. But there's another way to save the prince: the Ranger Corps.

Soon, Will and Maddie are on the road to rescue the missing prince, disguised as father and daughter jongleurs. Maddie will have to use her knifethrowing skills to keep up her disguise, and her ranger's apprentice training to complete the mission. But going undercover is dangerous--and the road presents its own hazards. Can she and Will use all their talents to save the prince, or will the arrogant Baron uncover their plans and put their lives, and their kingdom, at risk?

Internationally bestselling author of the Ranger's Apprentice and Brotherband series, John Flanagan returns in the captivating next installment of the Royal Ranger series: The Royal Ranger: The Missing Prince. Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien, Brian Jacques's Redwall, and George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones!

Praise for The Missing Prince:

"Flanagan builds suspense with well-practiced skill . . . . Tension increases right up to the last page." --Booklist

Goodreads review by Skip on November 20, 2021

King Duncan is asked by his neighbor King Philippe to rescue his son: the Prince of Gallica, who he believes is has been taken prisoner by a dangerous foe, Baron Joubert de Lassigny. He decides that a weak King, who owes him a favor is preferable to an unknown, possible threat so he recruits Ranger......more

Goodreads review by Tricia on November 17, 2020

This book is everything I was hoping for and more! While I have enjoyed all of the Royal Ranger books so far, the last 2 books were mildly disappointing in that Will and Maddie weren't on the mission together (and Will was barely in the books). This book, instead, is all Will and Maddie being awesom......more

Goodreads review by Nickie on October 26, 2020

Well, I don't say this very often about John Flanagan's books, but I felt this one was disappointing. It was wonderful to "see" old friends, and to travel with Will and Maddie across country, but it felt like a bunch of disjoined stories patched together. It took forever to get to the rescue of the......more

Goodreads review by Joy on December 23, 2020

I like this series but honestly this book didn’t have enough content to merit being part of a two book plot line. Let’s face it, I really didn’t need two chapters about juggling when it didn’t come into play at all in the end. This book and the next should have been combined into one to make a good f......more


Quotes

"Flanagan builds suspense with well-practiced skill and a flair for the dramatic. Tension increases right up to the last page. . . . The writing offers adventure, wit, and sufficient background information for those new to the Ranger’s Apprentice series to follow the story, but it will be enjoyed most by those who have read one or more of the three previous books in the Royal Ranger subseries, featuring the first girl apprenticed to a ranger." --Booklist
