Brotherband Chronicles
John Flanagan · 9 novels · 2011–2022
Hal, Stig, and a crew of Skandian teenagers considered too unpromising for the elite warrior bands are thrown together as the underdog 'Herons' and forced to compete against tougher rival crews in a brutal open-sea trial that's supposed to be a game. John Flanagan's Brotherband Chronicles, set in the same world as Ranger's Apprentice, follows the Herons as they earn respect the hard way and get pulled into real dangers well beyond the training exercise. Shipboard tactics, seamanship, and team loyalty matter as much as any single hero's skill.
