Shadow Walk is a dark fantasy story by author Devyn Quinn. It is a little different than the other books I’ve read by her but definitely interesting. The characters in her stories are always flawed and this one is no exception, and that is part of what makes her writing so enjoyable to read.

Adri has been in training for 21 years to enter the part of her life which will ultimately make her a goddess. Going through the rituals of readiness she experiences doubts about what she is doing but convinces herself this is what she was born to do. That is until at the end of the ceremony rebel men kidnap her and many other women and take them to their camp. Looking for wives the men determine that she is not wife material and Adri sure she will be put to death that is until their leader Ardan decides to put her in his protection.

Shadow Walk forces you to examine your own thoughts about blindly following a path. As always Ms. Quinn builds her worlds with great detail to the point that you can close your eyes and envision the scenes. Shadow Walk has it all with more than enough evil, twists, turns and steam to heat you up.
