Synopsis

Jude Maddox knows nothing of love or even light. He knows only his grim duty as the Hand of Death, to lead the Knights of the Eternal Star into a land filled with nightmares and certain demise. It’s only when he sees her—a young woman with wild, amber eyes who’s as fierce, defiant, and swift as the
shadow beasts themselves—that he feels the warmth of life in his blood …

The other Knights may fear their lethal commander, with his hard, merciless demeanor. Outcast Kiara Frey sees only a leader, a man who knows how to survive. A man like her. But wanting him is as treacherous as the shadows themselves … and just as seductive.

With a kingdom on the verge of collapse, the Knights must now venture into the darkest heart of the land and uncover the secrets of the misted shadows, where evil will prey upon their minds and feast on their flesh.

It will betray their senses.
It will surpass their nightmares.
Most of them will die.

But they have no other choice. Because the only way to fight the darkness … is to become it.

About Katherine Quinn

Katherine Quinn is a fantasy romance author and poet. She graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in psychology. She resides in Houston, Texas, with her husband and three children.

Her love for writing began after she read her first fantasy series, Song of the Lioness, by Tamora Pierce. After that, she wanted nothing more than to be a dagger-wielding heroine. Unfortunately, it's frowned upon to give a child a dagger, so she settled on writing about daring adventures instead.

Coffee is her true love, and she believes anything can be fixed with Starbucks and dark humor.

Goodreads review by Alexis on September 01, 2023

Okay, those last few chapters HURT. Katherine Quinn is an auto buy author for me, and To Kill a Shadow only confirmed why I love her books so much! From the first meeting, Kiara and Jude have so much tension between them. The way their first interactions are written makes it hard to breathe, the conn......more

Would I read this book again, yes! It just didn't keep my attention throughout. World building I found to be lacking, but its the 1st of the series, so I'm hoping the author expands on it with the next book. Kiara joins Jude on a quest at the behest of the king. you know how this goes people. They both......more

Goodreads review by Tay on August 25, 2024

This was an incredibly well written YA book with a strong female main character reminiscent of Mulan. The writing is impeccable and this obviously isn’t Katherine Quinn’s first novel. I really enjoyed it and I can’t wait for more books in this series!......more
