The Ring Keepers

Twelve-year-old Jack Willson is about to discover that the truth is the most dangerous magic of all.

Jack's life has been falling apart since his parents died in a mysterious car accident and his big sister, Lucy, vanished without a trace. Desperate for answers, Jack breaks into an abandoned jewelry shop-and finds a silver ring that slides onto his finger and refuses to come off.

Suddenly, the world changes. Jack can see things no one else can. He can spot a lie before it's spoken. He can see the cracks in reality.

He has found the Ring of Truth, one of seven ancient artifacts forged to test humanity.

But Jack isn't the only one looking for them.

Victor Blackthorne, a billionaire with a tragic past and a deadly obsession, has already collected four of the rings. He believes that if he unites all seven, he can rewrite the laws of life and death. To complete his collection, he needs Jack's ring-and he has kidnapped Lucy to get it.

Now, Jack must race from Chicago to the catacombs of Paris to save his sister. Joined by his anxious uncle, a warrior-librarian with a ring that shapes matter, and a girl who can command the tides, Jack has to master his new powers fast.

Because the truth is coming for them all. And some truths are sharp enough to kill.
