The New York Times bestselling origin story of the Master Chief?part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series Halo!The twenty-sixth century. Humanity has expanded beyond Earth's system to hundreds of planets that colonists now call home. But the United Earth Government and the United Nations Space Command is struggling to control this vast empire. After exhausting all strategies to keep seething colonial insurrections from exploding into a full-blown interplanetary civil war, the UNSC has one last hope. At the Office of Naval Intelligence, Dr. Catherine Halsey has been hard at work on a top-secret program that could bring an end to the conflict…and it starts with seventy-five children, among them a six-year-old boy named John. And Halsey could never guess that this child will eventually become the final hope against an even greater peril engulfing the galaxy?the inexorable confrontation with a theocratic military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant. This is the electrifying origin story of Spartan John-117?the Master Chief?and of his legendary, unstoppable heroism in leading the resistance against humanity's possible extinction.

Hi. My name is Konrad Scalagari. I've written this book just for you. I know, this is supposed to be a blurb telling you about the book. The thing is, while you're reading this, everyone else is reading a description of a science-fiction adventure with super soldiers, guts and glory, and spaceship battles. It's just part of the magic to cover my tracks while I explain this to you. I know you don't understand yet... but you're a member of the Scalagari family, too. Who are the Scalagaris? Good question. The Scalagaris are one of many highly secretive magical families in the world. We specialize in using knots to bind enchantments. Oh, and we're criminals-sort of. Think of us as part Robin Hood and part magical mafia. Capisce? The Enchanted Knot is the story of how I figured this out, and went from clueless teenager living in a trailer park to being rich and infamous (and landing on INTERPOL's most wanted list). Read this. Right now! You'll need to know these things when we come looking for you.
