I just read the available books in this series, want to suggest it to a friend and cannot fornthe life of me find the series name or book names or author. The main character is a highschool aged British boy at the begining of the series, his twin brother is a fairly powerful light magician and everyone else thinks he's just a normal boy...but he's not. He can control shadows and has been teaching himself magic and helping his brother learn to control his own powers He's a nerd, his brother is a jock and as things proceed he shows the world he's not only a fairly powerful shadow magician he's the most powerful ever born, which scares most people because mog shadow magicians fall to the dark side so to speak but he never does
