The Ice Bound Land-By John Flanagan

The book The Ice Bound land is set in the countries of Skandia and Gallica. With Will and Evanlyn (princess Cassandra) taken as slaves and sold, with Halt desperately forming a plan to go rescue his apprentice which ends with him banished from the kingdom, with Horace who wants to rescue his friend too. In the book, due to the enslavement in the yard of the great hall, will becomes mindless and blank, and closing the distance to death. My favorite part is when Will throws the steak knife into the keg, with amazing accuracy and makes Slagor yelp like a frightened puppy.
