Before I even read book, I committed a grave sin and judged this book by its cover.
From there starts Ronan's incredible journey with his friend Greta and a new accomplice named Jack. They're an order of knights who protect a group of thirty-six people called the Pure and an evil group called the Bend Sinister is after them and they have already kidnapped his father. His mother is a member of an elite organization called the Blood Guard. When his mom picks him up from school one day and they're tailed by a mysterious van, that's when he learns the truth. He prefers to be called Ronan and has fencing, karate and gymnastics for after school activities. But then again, maybe Ronan's not ordinary at all.Įvelyn Ronan Truelove is a kid with a weird name and even weirder hobbies.
That's a lot for an ordinary kid to deal with. Falling in with two unlikely companions, Greta, a scrappy, strong-willed girl he's never much liked and Jack, a devil-may-care teenage pickpocket, Ronan is left with only his wits and his mom's last words of advice: Trust no one. For suddenly Ronan is swept up in a sometimes funny, sometimes scary, but always thrilling adventure-dashing from one danger to the next, using his wits to escape the Bend Sinister, a posse of evil doers with strange powers.
Now all those after-school activities-gymnastics, judo, survival training-she made him take, make sense. In fact, she's a member of an ancient order of knights, the Blood Guard, a sword-wielding secret society sworn to protect the Pure-thirty-six noble souls whose safety is crucial if the world as we know it is to survive. His mom, he quickly learns, is anything but ordinary. His quiet, nerdy dad has been kidnapped? And the kidnappers are after him, too? When thirteen-year-old Ronan Truelove's seemingly ordinary mom snatches him from school, then sets off on a high speed car chase, Ronan is shocked.
