Ranger's Apprentice 2- Setting and Story Base

Ranger's Apprentice The Burning Bridge is the second book in the Ranger's Apprentice series. It takes place mostly in the Araluen Kingdom and in medieval times. Will, a young teenager that recently became an apprentice ranger for the kingdom, had just in the last book saved his teacher from an attack meant to take out some of the strongest military leaders sent by the enemy. Now, in this book, Will and his teacher, Halt, will be fighting the enemy, Morgorath.

Will lost his parents in the last war against Morgorath 14 years before. Nobody knew his last name, and so he grew up in a ward, or a home for children with no parents to be raised until they are old enough to be put into a job. Halt was the only one that would accept Will as an apprentice, and though Will didn't want to be a ranger, his alternative choice was to be put on a farm, so he became a ranger. In the second book, the war against Morgorath will continue. Morgorath took control over a bunch of mythical creatures called Wargals, and he uses them as soldiers. Now, instead of just defending Araluen, Will and Halt will have to attack the enemy and end the war.
