Denizen Hardwick is an orphan, and his life is, well, normal. Sure, in storybooks orphans are rescued from drudgery when they discover they are a wizard or a warrior or a prophesized king. But this is real lifeâ??orphans are just kids without parents. At least thatâ??s what Denizen thought. . . .

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 h

Well that was a great action fantasy novel!

I am thrilled to have stumbled upon this as I am on a mission to find engaging books with high school aged male protagonists. These seem to be few and far apart. There are a bunch of well known and well loved ones, but not too many beyond that list. The main character is 13 so this is suitable for NZ Y7 - Y9.

The story is not new, however, it feels quite a bit darker than the likes of Harry Potter. There is a great balance between action and character development and some 'edge of seat' type tension in some places. Excellent addition to our library! ( )

I lost interest about 100 pages in. I made myself finish it just to see what would happen but the story just didn't engage me. ( )

With so many books to read, it's not very often I consider rereading a new book, but as soon as I find time in my current tbr pile, I will be rereading KOTBD. Full of rich engaging characters and villains that are really evil, this book made me laugh, yet also scared the pants off me. Both in equal measure. A welcome new voice in the young fantasy genre.

This was a great book. A lot of original ideas, truly frightening characters and twists that I didn't see coming. The description is FABULOUS! The pacing is perfect. The only reason it took me so long to read it is because I put it down to savor the pages. I'm not going to rehash the story because frankly, it's better to experience it firsthand. If you like young adult urban fantasy, then do not miss this book! ( )
