Can a father lost in the shadows become the key to setting others free?
In the heart of the Shadow Realm, Sam awakens with no memory of how he got there—only the haunting truth that something precious was stolen from him. To escape, he must find and reforge the broken pieces of the Shadow Sword. But he's not alone.

Each shard is guarded by a boy trapped in a different realm—each one carrying a heavy burden: shame, fear, anger, doubt, and guilt. As Sam journeys deeper, he must help these boys confront the darkness inside themselves... and his own. Because some shadows don't just chase you—they change you.

The Flame Thief is a beautifully illustrated children's book filled with heart, magic, and emotional depth. Perfect for children ages 7–12, this powerful tale explores healing, courage, and the light we carry inside—even when the world goes dark.

From the author of The Peeking Shadow and Velastra's Web, this third book in The Keeper's Line series is a must-have for kids learning to face their fears—and for grownups still learning, too.
