The Glass Gauntlet: The Blood Guard, Book 2

Ronan Truelove barely survived his first encounter with his father and the Bend Sinister.

Now, he's determined to become one of the Blood Guard, a sword-wielding secret society sworn to protect thirty-six pure souls crucial to the world's survival.

Eager to prove he's got what it takes to become a Guard, Ronan can't believe that the first mission he, Greta, and Sammy are sent on is to visit a weird-sounding school and take a series of tests called the Glass Gauntlet.

Paper and pencils and nerdy scholarship - where's the life-or-death challenge in that? Boring.

Only it's not.

For the Glass Gauntlet turns out to be dangerous head-to-head competitions against ruthless opponents.
