The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card

I have not read an Orson Scott Card book since revisiting Ender's Game a few years ago. Then I picked up The Lost Gate and fell in love with his new magical world. Poor Danny is teased and ostracized by his extended family because he is a drekka-- a person with no powers. He is tormented by his family until he realizes he is actually a very powerful mage-a GateMage that is now forbidden. Knowing that his family would kill him if his power came to light Danny flees the compound and takes up with a drifter who wants Danny help him to steal electronics. Danny uses his ability to do this but only briefly. He meets a mysterious man who directs him to someone who can teach him how to build greater gates. Can he escape the Gate Thief and his family?
