Have you ever felt different from everyone else? Like they all had something you didn't have? I've felt this way for 17 years. Because I was born without a shadow. That wasn't normal! Even with this flaw my life in New York was nice. I had nice friends, nice school, nice home, nice food. Well my life just got very complicated. Thanks to a book I happen to steal. Now I'm living in the middle of who knows where with my aunt. I have no friends in this new school. I can't find anything good. But... Jace Evans...a boy with no shadow. I was gonna get some answers...and a new life.
