Tommy Turner was just an ordinary kid-until he found the sneakers.

At first, they seemed like nothing special. A dusty old pair of running shoes tucked away in the back of his school's lost-and-found. But the moment Tommy laced them up, everything changed.

Speed. Power. Magic.

Suddenly, he could run faster than the eye could see, dodge falling objects before they hit the ground, and even blur past time itself. But his new abilities come with a dangerous secret-one that ties him to an ancient battle between light and shadow.

When a group of mysterious figures known as the Shadow Keepers begin hunting him, Tommy learns that his sneakers weren't just forgotten. They were hidden. And now, the forces of darkness want them back.

With the help of an unexpected mentor, an ex-speedster named Fallon Graves, Tommy must master his powers before it's too late. But as he dives deeper into the mystery of his sneakers, he uncovers something even more terrifying-a hidden force locked behind the Shadow Gate, waiting to be unleashed.

The world is racing toward its greatest threat.

And only Tommy can stop it.

But can he run fast enough to outrun fate itself?
