Junkland (The Hoarding) by Patrick Johns

A young boy longs to be a knight. A drastic invasion destroys his home. Will a childish dream be enough to save the ones he loves? Jahrys Grent’s pampered life has been turned upside down. His road to knighthood was cut short when mysterious invaders attacked and destroyed his home. And when he’s trapped outside the castle walls, new dangers await. Anguished and betrayed, he joins the Retrievers—a rebel group designed to locate supplies for inhabitants of the castle. When a mission puts him and his friends in danger, Jahrys realizes there’s only one way to save his home. He must become the knight he yearns to be, and rescue the princess he had fallen in love with three years before. It's kill or be killed out in the Junkland. Has Jahrys’s childhood dream prepared him for the darkness to come? Junkland, the first book of The Hoarding series, is perfect for lovers of fairy tales, fantasy, and adventure.
