Knights of the Borrowed Dark

Knights of the Borrowed Dark by Dave Rudden

 

 

 

Denizen Hardwick doesn't believe in magic - until he's ambushed by a monster created from shadows and sees it destroyed by a word made of sunlight.

That kind of thing can really change your perspective.

Now Denizen is about to discover that there's a world beyond the one he knows. A world of living darkness where an unseen enemy awaits.

Fortunately for humanity, between us and the shadows stand the Knights of the Borrowed Dark.

Unfortunately for Denizen, he's one of them . . .

 

 

Denzian Hardwick gets thrown into magic at the deep end. Having grown up in an orphanage he realises that he has a long lost aunt and on his 13th birthday he finds out that he has all kinds of powers that he could never ever have imagined. He has a big decision to make, join the knights of the borrowed dark or go back to his normal life in the orphanage. While figuring out what he is going to do,  something is stolen from the endless king in the world of the Tenebrous and Denzian gets caught up in a race to save the world.

 

 

We were very lucky to have Dave Rudden visit us on Thursday the 16th of June for our last book club meeting before the summer. Dave did some creative writing with us, he did a very scary reading from his book and made it come alive! and let us ask lots of questons about the story and the characters. I think for some of our book club this was one of our favourite books of the year we can't wait until next year for the part two of this trilogy "The forever Court" A big thank you again to Dave for coming in to visit us in Ballyroan Library!
