Shattered Sky (2002) is the thrilling conclusion to Neal Shusterman’s Star Shards Chronicles trilogy, following Scorpion Shards (1995) and Thief of Souls (1999). The novel reunites six supernaturally afflicted teens—each burdened with a destructive power—as they face their ultimate battle against an ancient cosmic force threatening to unravel reality. Dillon Cole, the tormented “soul thief,” takes center stage in a high-stakes quest for redemption, while the group struggles to control their abilities before they destroy the world. Shusterman blends sci-fi, horror, and psychological depth in this intense finale, exploring themes of destiny, sacrifice, and the weight of power.
