Thief of Souls Neal Shusterman

Brief Description: For five young people born with extraordinary powers, the climactic battle against Evil has not yet brought an end to their nightmare. Imprisoned for thousands of years, an ancient, malevolent force--the Bringer--awaits the moment when it can break free and reek its revenge upon the world. Only the power of five can stop it. Brief Description: As their superhuman powers rage out of control, five teenagers, possessed by shards of a shattered star, become ripe for manipulation by The Bringer, a creature determined to use them to turn the Earth into his own personal feeding ground. Publisher Marketing: A group of monumentally powerful teens must face an ancient, soul-eating foe in this second book of The Star Shards Chronicles. A cataclysmic explosion has given earthly teens astronomical powers--when the star Mentarsus-H went supernova at their conceptions, the teens absorbed the shattered soul of the star and inherited unimaginable abilities. Now the Star Shards have become like gods, drunk on their own power--and ripe for manipulation by The Bringer, a creature who would turn them against one another and transform the planet into his own personal feeding ground. But who is more dangerous: The Bringer or the Star Shards? Acclaimed author Neal Shusterman presents "a story which is grippingly unexpected" ("The Bookwatch") that sets the stage for the riveting conclusion to The Star Shards trilogy.
