The Neverborn Thief by Andrew Najberg (July 22nd)

From bestselling horror author Andrew Najberg comes a dark fantasy for young adults.

When 13-year-old Connor’s shadow is stolen, he has only three days to venture into the Shadowlands and retrieve it or lose himself forever. The Shadow Police are overworked, corrupt, and ill-equipped to help, leaving Connor to navigate a disintegrating world ruled by deceit and betrayal. It is a place of hunger and discomfort where even the sun is little more than a dying coal in the sky, and ash falls like snow over petrified forests.

Despite the dangers, Connor learns there is good in the Shadowlands: friends who will help him, fathers desperate to save their sons, creatures who might be kinder than they look. But looming over it all is the Neverborn Thief … an enemy Connor neither understands nor knows how to defeat.

Will Connor find the strength to become whole again, or will he fade into the shadows that threaten to swallow him?
