Son of Shadow Hero of Light
Courage. Compassion. A warm light for all to follow.
Leave your superpowers and trust the music in your heart
In a world where playing games on cell phones give people superpowers like flying or teleporting, twelve-year-old Leon can shine light from his hands which is the least useful superpower of the nine. But when he discovers his real ability, he turns his world upside down chasing more and more power.
Not only is that devastating for his family, but he also destroys his friendship with his best friend, and then discovers that his real ability is tricking him into following a sinister power. He’ll have to give up everything that made him popular in order to do what’s right.
It’s a spiritual journey with superpowers

What people are saying
An excellent read! The author takes the classic struggle of Light vs. Dark and uniquely stages it in our modern world of technology and texting. With this overarching theme the reader gets to know Leon, the teenage protagonist, and his own struggles with friendship, trust, peer pressure, popularity, and even his purpose in life.
The invaluable principles contained in this book are clearly taught. I especially appreciate how the author teaches about the real powers of Dark and Light in a safe manner. I finished the book feeling uplifted and enlightened.
I will share this book with my children as they reach adolescence!
