The World Shaker Abby Dewsnup

"This is the story of a girl who burned as bright as midday." In a world known only as the Fringe, young Anya of the Cave-Dwellers has yet to step foot outside of her underground society. Following the disappearance of her parents, she becomes entangled as a Light Smuggler, stealing light from the cracks in the earth so her people can fight off the Stygian shadows that plague them at night. Whispers of a strange leader known as the World Shaker echo throughout the Fringe. This hooded vigilante promises the overthrow of a rising kingdom, and when Anya is offered the chance to travel above ground on a dangerous mission, she finds herself at the center of a falling empire, whispered prophecies, and dangerous entities, all surrounding the mysterious World Shaker. Aided by the boy Jay with mysteries of his own, Anya must rise with the dawn and discover the truth of the World Shaker before darkness falls and the Fringe is cloaked once more. . .
