To Kill a Shadow (Mistlands, #1)

by Katherine Quinn

I was neither dainty nor well-spoken. Not that I ever wished to be.

“You’re going to get in trouble with that attitude of yours,” she’d scolded, even though there was mirth in her voice. “But I think it will be your greatest weapon, child.”

My attitude was by far my greatest weapon. One I would use to obliterate all doubts that women couldn’t hold their own in battle. Couldn’t be warriors. Perhaps it was time to loosen my restraint, to unleash the girl I’d long ago imprisoned.

A good man is often the one who has known the most evil.

Love was nothing if not sacrifice, and for him, I’d willingly give all of myself.

“Don’t resort to the dark when you could hold the very sun in your hands.”

“You saved me. Kiara Frey. You are the only light I will vow to protect.”
