ABOUT THIS BOOK
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. Someone 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.

My Review 🕮
This book exceeded my expectations! Initially, I was drawn in by its stunning cover. I had no idea what to expect, but right away I was hooked. The characters were especially memorable, and despite a slight drawback in world-building, the plot and characters more than compensated.
I immediately connected with Kiara; her strength and resolve as a leader fascinated me, and I eagerly anticipated how she would navigate the challenges presented in the book. Jude, with his enigmatic aura, added an intriguing layer to the story. His backstory unfolded beautifully, enhancing the depth of his character and the chemistry between him and Kiara. Sure it leaned towards Instalove, but their chemistry jumped off the page.
There was action, excitement, and just the right amount of romance, fulfilling all my expectations and even surprising me with unexpected plot twists. The mist was terrifying and I was on the edge of my seat fearing the worst. The last few pages left me crushed.
I would absolutely reread this book and will be eagerly waiting for the next book in the series.
