When Gabriel appears on a dark and stormy night, he seems just like any other twelve year-old... except for the scars that cover his back and the fact that he has no memory of his past. The wealthy couple who rescue Gabriel promise to help him find his parents, but their mysterious behavior soon leads him to wonder if they really are who they appear to be. Gabriel's new friends Jodi and Pete try to prepare him for the strange adventures that await, but they may already be too late. Gabriel suddenly finds himself in a world where no one can be trusted; a world filled with shadowy monsters, cruel villains, and dark conspiracies. As he pieces together his mysterious past, Gabriel has to wonder: Is it truly his destiny to save the world from the Shadowlords, or is he actually one of them?

Teenage assassin Gabriel Frost is back, and this time he’s going to find out the truth about his mysterious past. It has been one year since the events of Shadow Born, and Gabriel has settled into his new life at Winschfield Manor as a field agent for the Top Secret organization known as D.A.S. Gabriel is on his first solo mission when something goes horribly wrong and the shadowfriends escape, not only with hostages, but also with a rare and unusual relic -an ancient gemstone statue. Gabriel soon learns that the shadowfriends are collecting the statues because the artifacts have immense power, power that could change the world forever. But before D.A.S. can act, the Shadow attacks. Reeves and Julia are gone and the children are taken captive by a secret government agency. To make matters worse, Gabriel’s powers are growing rapidly and he can’t seem to control them. Just when his friends need him most, Gabriel may not be able to save anyone - not even himself.

Just when D.A.S. finally had the Shadow on the run, all the rules changed.... The Shadowlords have waited ten thousand years for this moment. After centuries of plotting, scheming, and manipulating humanity with their ruthless blend of magic and dark science, the Shadowlords have finally succeeded. The doomsday machine has been activated. The planet Niburu has returned. Shadow creatures walk among humans, and magic is once again real. But something has gone wrong… Now, a mysterious illness is threatening not only the Shadowlords but also Gabriel and the other children who were engineered with Shadow D.N.A. At the same time, Gabriel, Jodi, and Pete have all gone missing, just as the Shadow’s ultimate plan has finally been set in motion. Gabriel and his companions thought they were ready, but nothing could have prepared them for the final conflict. Events are hurtling towards an astonishing finale in the Shadow Born Trilogy. In the end, there will be only one Shadowlord!
