He's determined to rescue his friends, but breaking into the workhouse is a nearly impossible task, let alone breaking back out. \n \nTom is at a loss until he's approached by a mysterious figure claiming to be an accomplished thief and Tom's ticket to the best training in the clandestine arts in the world: an elite international boarding school that would teach him all the skills necessary to help his friends. Without any better ideas--and his curiosity piqued--Tom accepts the invitation. \n \nWhisked away to the snowy Alps, Tom enters a thrilling world of intrigue and heists. But the deeper he gets into the Shadow League, the harder it becomes to leave. Tom has to learn fast and uncover the nefarious secrets within the league to have any chance of saving himself, his friends--and maybe even the world.\n
