In a world where shadows come to life, emerges a young girl with an extraordinary gift – the power of light itself.
Kirie has a secret. She possesses the rare ability to manipulate and control light at will. But her strange gift is both a blessing and a curse. With a helicopter mother determined to keep her abilities hidden, Kirie struggles to form attachments with her peers and find her place in the world.
Then one night, malevolent beings born from the very absence of light emerge from the darkness and destroy all she holds dear, leaving Kirie to question everything she knew about the world.
Hunted and on the run, Kirie is soon discovered by The Society of Light, an ancient organization that recruits and trains Agents of Light to battle against the ever-encroaching darkness. Among these agents is Luca, a mysterious boy with gem-green eyes and a magnetic energy Kirie can’t help but be drawn to.
As the battle between Agents of Light and Shadowmen escalates, Kirie must make a choice. Follow her own path, or join The Society in its fight against darkness. With time running out and the world teetering on the brink of eternal night, Kirie must face her deepest fears and embrace her destiny as the world's brightest hope.
Light shines brightest in the dark.
Against all odds, Kirie survived The Order’s most deadly assassin. Now she is immersed in Agent of Light battle training at the Rome Center of Light. But the Shadowmen aren’t done with her yet. Rumored to be the brightest Agent of all time, the Shadowmen will stop at nothing to extinguish her light.
Across the Atlantic, Luca throws himself into work to hide from his inner Shadows and the girl he cannot forget but doesn’t deserve. He soon uncovers a plot to destroy the world–and everyone’s in on it. To make matters worse, he stumbles upon proof of a mole hidden within The Society of Light. Not knowing who to trust, Luca embarks on a high-stakes mission to stop The Order’s genocidal plans. A mission he suspects will be his last.
With the magnetic connection between Kirie and Luca growing stronger each day, the ill-fated lovers are lured into a deadly battle on enemy soil where the lines between Light and Dark are blurred.

"It was your energy. It calls to me. I could find you in
a crowded room, a frozen wasteland... anywhere. There's nowhere in the world where I can't find you."
Jillian! You’re onto something here! The whole concept of this book is amazing and I absolutely loved it! The characters and the story line was beautifully written and so creatively brought to life.
This book hooked me in and I was reading every opportunity I got.
The beginning of the book felt like it was for a younger audience (be it early teens) but as the book progressed my thoughts about that have changed. I would highly recommend this book as it has such a unique concept and the fantasy and slow burn was soooo good!!!
That kiss was everything! Literally was silently screaming when it happened lol"
"Loved! This story completely took me by surprise and I cant wait for more! The connection between each character and twist had me so hooked. I loved the suspense, the trauma, the tie between history and modern day. The tension was perfect and I can't wait to see how this story will progress and what is going to happen next. This made me emotional and I felt so connected to our FMC."
"The second book in this young adult fantasy trilogy is absolutely fantastic. From the moment I started this book, I was mesmerized by the vivid world-building imagery and intricate twists and turns of events that J.B. Tucker used! The characters Kirie, Arin, Alena, and Lucas became more developed and complex, captivating the reader, making them feel like they are a part of your family. The pacing is perfect, balancing intense action with emotional depth. The cliffhanger ending has left me eagerly awaiting the final installment. Shadow Men is a must-read for any young adult fantasy lover that I cannot recommend highly enough!"
"[Shadowmen is] an excellent follow up to Bright Ones! If you like morally grey MMC, socially awkward MFC, light vs darkness, old-world religious undertones, coming of age, secret societies, unhinged antagonists, this is the book for you!!
