Synopsis:

One year ago, Ronald and his brother Jiro entered a magical portal to complete their final trial and join the secret samurai society, the Order of the Golden Bonsai. Only Ronald returned.

Now a far from ordinary high school student, Ronald turns to hip-hop and music production in a desperate attempt to forget what he experienced, whilst his father relies on alcohol. At first, this seems to work for Ronald, and he spends his days contending with bullies, navigating relationships and even managing to attract the attention of his crush.

However, when his father destroys his computer in a drunken fit of rage, this all changes. Ronald’s main source of comfort and distraction is ripped away from him, and his mental health begins to unravel. Then, an assassin, sent by the Order, arrives at his house.

Ronald cannot outrun his past, and he’s forced to confront a world he’s spent the last year trying to forget. All he can do is try to finish what he and Jiro started. Can he bring vengeance to the woman who killed his brother and restore honor to the family name? Or will Ronald be destroyed by the world that’s already stolen everything from him?


Narnia meets 47 Ronin in the first of the A Servant’s Creed trilogy. Perfect for fans of C. S. Pacat’s Dark Rise, Marie Lu’s The Young Elites, and C. R. Fladmark’s The Gatekeeper’s Son, Ronald, the Ronin is an incredible story of revenge, trauma, and discovering inner strength.

About the Author: Curtis A. Deeter is an author of fantasy, science fiction, and horror. When he is not writing, he enjoys spending time with his family, discovering new music, and taste-testing craft beer at local breweries.
