In Shadow Thieves, 13-year-old Tom Morgan is Frantic and with little chance to rescue his friends until a mysterious Corsair grants him a doorway to an elite life—training at Beaufort’s School for Deceptive Arts. Tom embarks on a treacherous journey, whisked away to the snowy Alps aboard a zeppelin, where danger lurks at every turn and every secret about the Shadow League tests his resolve. The stakes rise as real danger closes in and loyalty is pushed to the limit. In Shadow Thieves: Island of Skulls, Tom and his new allies from Beaufort’s school are drawn into a Mediterranean treasure hunt on a private island once owned by the Duke of Nimes. Hidden tunnels, gleaming riches, and a terrifying weapon await in the island’s shadowy warrens. Together, these books deliver cinematic action, sharp wit, and a vivid world you won’t want to leave.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Makes This Collection Special:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis pair of thrill-powered adventures offers a seamless reading journey from a tense boarding-school setup to a high-stakes treasure hunt.
