This imaginative new fantasy will charm fans of the Ranger's Apprentice and Rick Riordan.

Denizen Hardwick is an orphan, and his life is, well, normal. Sure, in storybooks orphans are rescued from drudgery when they discover they are wizards or warriors or prophesized kings. But this is real life - orphans are just kids without parents. At least that's what Denizen thought....

On a particularly dark night, the gates of Crosscaper Orphanage open to a car that almost growls with power. The car and the man in it retrieve Denizen with the promise of introducing him to a long-lost aunt. But on the ride into the city, they are attacked. Denizen soon learns that monsters can grow out of the shadows. And there is an ancient order of knights who keep them at bay. Denizen has a unique connection to these knights, but everything they tell him feels like a half truth. If Denizen joins the order, is he fulfilling his destiny or turning his back on everything his family did to keep him alive?

Critic reviews

"Scary and funny - my two favorites. Dave Rudden is more than a rising star; he is a shooting star." (Eoin Colfer, New York Times best-selling author of the Artemis Fowl series)
"Like the Percy Jackson series, Hunger Games, or the Shiver Trilogy, Knights of the Borrowed Dark is dark, compelling, and builds an addictive universe of characters, high stakes, and evocative imagery." (Jeffrey Cranor, New York Times best-selling coauthor of Welcome to Night Vale)
"Dave Rudden has a way with words, a way with story, and a way with characters. Clear some time in your schedule before you read this, because once you start it is very difficult to stop." (Joseph Fink, New York Times best-selling coauthor of Welcome to Night Vale)

This is seriously amazing, and characters really sound like themselves in the voice acting. It's scary/funny/sweet/lots else.
