The nightblade is a versatile class, each of the paths gives another specialization in playstyles. All nightblades are fundamentally rogues with some spellcasting however. The lack of sneak attack or a similar class feature means that you need to make good use of the spells and path power to be a useful member of the party.
When it comes to multiclassing or gestalt sneaky classes like rogue have a lot of overlap, so look at improving either spellcasting or martial abilities. Charisma based casters are always useful. On the martial side there are plenty of classes who also make good use of charisma, like the swashbuckler.
There are a lot of shadow based 3pp classes, mostly because Paizo never made their own. Interjection Games made Ultimate Antipodism that holds several light and dark based classes. The Shadow Weaver is a shadow caster. If you want to make a darkness based wizard or sorcerer take a look at 101 Shadow and Darkness Spells.
The dread is a similar class that uses psionics instead of darkness.
Most who wield the magic of shadow seek to remain hidden. Not so for Duke Ezravor al’ Argentange! He is a widely renowned knave, womanizer and master of the rapier! He is the greatest symbol of hope for those suffering under the tyranny of Governor of La Barajah.
Dreadful Shadows
You know well how to use your enemies fear of darkness against them.
Prerequisites: Devastating Touch, Shadow Surge
Benefit: You can expend a shadow surge part the same action as using your devastating touch. If you do so can can use your devastating touch as a ranged touch attack with 60 ft. range.
Bugbears are known for being surprisingly stealthy. The bugbears in the icy forest realm of Snowbough in particular are talented at disappearing into the shadows.
