The Outcasts

The Outcasts is the first book in the Brotherband Chronicles series, introducing the main characters and their initial challenges. While it sets up a larger narrative, it also concludes its immediate storyline regarding the initial competition.

The Outcasts is set in the same fictional world as John Flanagan's popular Ranger's Apprentice series, though it focuses on a different culture and group of characters. Readers familiar with the Ranger's Apprentice books will recognize the broader world-building and some shared historical context.
