Architects (The Shadow Legacy #0)

Twelve years ago, in the suburbs of Boston, there lived a set of identical twins...

...until a young man named Jack kidnapped one of them to Germany in order to give them both a better life.

Growing up in Germany, Kyle has always known that the man he calls Dad kidnapped him from his biological family - and loves him all the more for it. At the same time, Kyle is curious to meet his twin brother, Ryan, left back in America with their birth parents. And so, when Kyle is 15, his father arranges for him to go undercover at Ryan's school outside of Boston. As Kyle gets to know his twin brother, he sees another soul in need - like his father once was. But if he tells Ryan the truth, Kyle risks being returned to his birth family, for they do not understand the bond he shares with his father - and that the kidnapping was to save them both.
