The Shadow Summoner

Jon Martin, an orphaned youth haunted by his unknown past, unlocks a terrifying power on his eighteenth birthday: the ability to seize and command others' shadows. These stolen echoes are as potent as their original owners, allowing Jon to amass an unstoppable army of dark reflections. His strength grows with every shadow consumed, but this phenomenal power soon draws the attention of a hidden war council. A clandestine conflict rages between factions of ability-users – some seeking to dominate, others to liberate. Jon, desperate for answers about his identity and a place to belong, finds himself thrust into this brutal struggle. He must choose a side, master his rapidly expanding arsenal of shadows, and defeat those who would shackle gifted individuals like him, all while grappling with the creeping suspicion that his power might demand more than he's willing to give.
