Jude Maddox serves as the Hand of Death, commanding the Knights of the Eternal Star in their battle against shadow creatures that plague the land. He has never known love or warmth until he encounters Kiara Frey, an outcast with amber eyes who moves as swiftly as the beasts they fight. While other Knights fear their ruthless commander, Kiara recognizes a survivor like herself. Their attraction grows dangerous as their kingdom crumbles around them. The Knights must enter the darkest regions where misted shadows hide their secrets. In this realm, evil attacks both mind and body, twisting their perceptions and feeding on their flesh. The horrors they face will exceed their worst fears. Most will not survive the mission. Yet they have no alternative. To defeat the encroaching darkness, they must embrace it themselves.
