Description

A young orphan learns that monsters can grow out of the shadows in our world, and there is an ancient order of knights who keep them at bay. Book #1

Quick Summary

"Knights of the Borrowed Dark" takes the childhood fear of monsters hiding in shadows and transforms it into an epic story about an orphan boy who discovers he's the destined heir to a thousand-year-old brotherhood of shadow warriors. Kids will love the fast-paced battles against creatures made of darkness, the mysterious magical powers that awaken within the protagonist, and the witty banter between the ragtag team of knights-in-training. If your kid likes the action-packed mystery of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief the Sea of Monsters" or the supernatural thrills of "The Last Kids on Earth," they'll be hooked from page one. Perfect for kids ages 9-12 in grades 4-7 who crave adrenaline-pumping fantasy with heart.
