Shadow Thief

When seventeen-year-old Kai discovers he can control shadows, he thinks it's the perfect way to move unseen through the city and survive. But when he's pulled into a dangerous group of thieves using his power for their own gain, he quickly learns his ability is more than just a tool for survival-it's the key to an ancient conflict between light and darkness. Hunted by the powerful Lightbearers, who seek to destroy all shadows, and burdened by the mysterious Solstice Stone, Kai must decide if he's willing to sacrifice everything to protect the delicate balance between light and shadow.
As the forces of light close in, Kai embarks on a perilous journey to find allies who understand the truth: that light and shadow need each other to survive. With danger at every turn and time running out, Kai must embrace his power or risk losing himself-and the world-to the war between light and darkness. In a world where light and shadow are at war, only balance can save them all.
