Nightmares are anything but just dreams for Nyx Evergarden. When her power to manipulate the shadows grows too strong, her mother is forced to find a school that can tame the darkness that revels within her daughter. But the school is anything but what she signed up for. She uncovers that there are two parallel planes of existence, one light; one dark. These two planes have been at war for centuries under the public's nose, and Nyx is about to find herself caught in the middle. Everything Nyx thought she knew is shattered within days, reality crumpling like a wet piece of paper in front of her. This new knowledge, and her trembling power, is enough to send universes spiraling.

The Silver Prince
For 17-year-old Nyx Madden, stealing shadows is second nature. This rare power allows her to control the person whose shadow she holds. And, since she's been on her own for the past five years, it's her only chance at survival. But Nyx's life in the shadows is jeopardized when she is visited by Victor, the enigmatic leader of the criminal underworld. Somehow, he discovered that she is the faceless Shadow Thief, Itoria's most wanted criminal. If he reveals her identity, she'll be hanged. Victor strikes a deal with Nyx. He'll give her more gold than she knows what to do with in exchange for the shadow of Itoria's Silver Prince, thus nicknamed for his fickle nature and careless wealth. Nyx readily agrees, as this may be the last shadow she ever has to steal. And, considering the Silver Prince's rotten reputation, Itoria can only improve with him out of the way. In order to take the prince's shadow, Nyx must uncover his greatest fear and confront him with it. She infiltrates the castle, where she discovers that nothing in Itoria is as it seems, including the prince himself. Stuck under his dying father's thumb, the Silver Prince has little freedom-but his selfish, callow nature might be hiding a golden heart. With her identity hanging in the balance, Nyx finds the fate of the entire kingdom in her hands-and her own heart in the hands of the Silver Prince.Complete
