The Outcasts book cover
Brotherband Chronicles is a series of remarkably engaging fantasy novels written by Australian author John Flanagan. The series followed the undeniable success of Flanagan’s well-known series the Ranger’s Apprentice, however, in Brotherband Chronicles, the author’s interest is to focus on Skandian characters.
Brotherband takes place in the same universe as the previous Ranger’s Apprentice series, in a medieval-like Europe, but with a bunch of new, fresh, and captivating characters.
Book One: The Outcasts[]
Without a father, Hal Mikkelson must prove himself as a small boy when burdened with the task of being a reluctant leader to a group known as the Brotherband. Comprised mainly of outcasts, they seek to advance their particular Brotherband, which they name Brotherband and the Herons, as they must undertake a series of tasks and challenges in which they accrue points that are totaled up at the end.
Will they be able to prove themselves to the world and each other?
Can they get the honor that is guarding the treasure of Skandia?
What will become of them as they remain the outcasts?
Book Two: The Invaders[]

They do this while Zavac sizes the treasure of Limmat, a neighboring small town with a great emerald mine. Once again, the courage of the boy saves the day and things might not end up as you thing they would.
Book Three: The Hunters[]
The third book: is a continuation of Hal’s journey after Zavac where the author, with the most clever use of language, describes all the adventures and troubles the boys get into.
