Books with title A Boy and His Shadow

Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one lonely refugee. Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves her life—a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling. Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha… and the secrets of her heart.

It started as an ordinary school field trip. The bus pulled up; the kids got off. Their teacher told them where to explore and what to look out for. But when Code Lightfall spots what appears to be a tiny metallic bee, his world will never be the same again... literally. This “bee” leads Code from his world into Mekhos—the land of robots. And with bizarre robotic creatures around every turn—from infinipedes with razor-sharp mandibles to giant slaughterbots to tiny nanoscopic creatures that dissolve everything in their path—Mekhos is as dangerous as it is fantastical. It soon becomes clear that the only way for Code to get home is to embark on a daring rescue mission: find the object known as the Robonomicon before it falls into the hands of an evil ruler. With new friends by his side, Code will journey from one end of Mekhos to the other in his quest to save himself—and all the robots—from impending doom. But as incredible as the adventure is, the biggest surprise is yet to come, when Code finds himself face-to-face with the last person he ever thought he’d see again.

“So Shadowman's not in the Cape Cells… me and him, we didn’t exactly get along well that last conversation,” I admit.“You can find him,” Technico says. “Skye can find him as long as he’s not roaming the shadows, but you can find him, regardless.”“Can you?”“I can find his phone—but the moment I do, he’s usually switching to another one. Your dad is paranoid, for good reason.”“So you want me to focus on Shadowman, while you take out Herold?”“That about sums it up,” he agrees.It’s dangerous—but not as dangerous as a lot of the stuff I’ve done in the past. “If I find him, how am I going to stop him? He’s a lot older than I am, and he’s more powerful, right?”“He is,” Nico says. “And there’s a good chance he’s got a technopath behind him, just like you do. We just need to take that into account—”“But—” I jerk, since I wasn’t the one that said that. There, standing in the hall, is Carla, her hand over her mouth.“You should be in bed,” I say automatically. “You’ve got classes in the morning.”“Classes don’t matter!” she says, stepping into the room. “You’re just planning on running off on your own to find Shadowman, right? You could get caught—or killed!”“He won’t kill me, I’m his son."
