Outcast: Keepers of the Stone Book One by Andrew Anzur Clement

An orphan raised by a Sect of thieves, Malka has already sacrificed everything to protect the magical gemstone she carries. Forced to flee British India for the American West, her immediate goal is to keep the Urumi’s demonic Order off her trail and avoid being taken into the ranks of its enslaved members. But – even with her superhuman speed and the aid of a mysterious shapeshifter – doing so will prove tougher than she could’ve possibly imagined.
Stas, the courageous son of a refugee, learns he is being sent home to a continent he has never visited. But, even as he begins to grapple with his new environment, the Order of the Urumi sets it’s own plans in motion; he is in more danger than he could possibly realize.
Trapped on opposite parts the globe, Stas and Malka struggle to uncover their common path to the stone’s cataclysmic final purpose.
Their most epic quest has just begun.
