#1. The Importance of an Orderly Mind. This is how the first book in the Paladin Prophecy series begins. What does this say about the main character? Is he insane? No, this is the first rule in a long book of rules that Will West was given by his father, Jordan West, called Dad's List of Rules to Live By.
The first book is the introductory book of course. It speaks of his family, his school, living situation, and so on. But at the very beginning things get crazy. Will sees a black sedan with the tinted windows and thinks nothing of it. Then after so many minutes he realizes the sedan is following him. Will gets a text from dad saying "RUN, WILL." and he does just that. After this event more crazy things follow. He gets invited to a highly secretive private school for scholars, gets attacked by some crazy unknown creatures on a cliff-face, and meets a crazy, and dead, Australian. But you'll have to read the book to get that explanation.
These unknown creatures are called "the Others" from the "Never-Was" and they play a huge part throughout the series. They end up killing Will's mother and taking control of her body. They destroy his home forcing him to flee to the highly secretive school called The Center For Integrated Learning. This is where the Paladin prophecy takes place in form of a group of students who attend it. The book proceeds to get even more complex by adding the fact that Will and the group of students all have powers that were injected into them when their mother were going through in vitro.
I highly recommend not only this book but this entire series because the plot thickens, twists and layers as new characters, ideas, and settings are integrated into the series. At the moment I am reading the third book in the series, Rogue: The Paladin Prophecy. Expect to be recieving a book review on that and be sure to check out the first two books, The Paladin Prophecy and Alliance: The Paladin Prophecy, before you check out my review so I don't give any spoilers!
