A Tale of Stars and Shadow

Tale of Stars and Shadow Series, Book 1

By: Lisa Cassidy

Narrated by: Danielle Cohen

A broken warrior searching for redemption. A criminal who haunts the darkest shadows. A rising darkness that threatens to consume them both....

A born warrior, Talyn Dynan was the finest fighter of her generation. But after a combat mission goes tragically wrong, she is left broken and wracked with guilt. Sent on a dangerous assignment to the mysterious kingdom of Mithranar, she must contend with the ruthless political games of the royal court while secretly hunting a criminal who is key to a much greater mystery. A single mistake could mean her death.

The Shadowhawk thrives in the darkest of nights. Desperate to help the oppressed human folk of Mithranar, he haunts the streets, stealing from those who have the most. The arrival of a foreign warrior brings him closer than ever before to being unmasked and executed. But is she truly his enemy, or an unwitting pawn in a game being played by the powerful ruling Acondor family?

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to either, a murderous foe stalks the dark corners of Mithranar. One that answers to a single purpose....

Vengeance.

Hidden Jem!

It took 2 or 3 chapters, but by chapter 4 I was hooked! The characters and character development in this series is top tier, and the plot twists and tension keep you in thrall. It was absolutely a 5 star for me and I know I'll be back to visit these characters again. You won't be disappointed, it's beautiful!

Story

Such a good story!! I am hooked can’t wait to start the next one. Definitely give this a try

Decent Story but Slow Narration

The story was interesting enough to keep listening to the series, but took a while to get interesting. This book was mostly world building. The narrator reads suuuuper slowly, and I had to speed up the audio to get to a normal pace. She does fine once the speed is at 1.2.

Truly Enjoyable

Intriguing storyline, strong characters, and layered plot. Keeps you seeking the next twist. Want the entire series.

Yep. That ending is how you get me to read book2!

Let me just say that I was Surprised 😮 at how much I loved this book. Especially because I never had heard of it before and I read 150+ books per year in this category!!!! WHY HAVE YALL BEEN SLEEPING ON THIS SERUES?!? Also never ever seen the ending coming! I kinda thought the Shadow was who he ended up being but after ignoring the signs and going with obvious looks, I shrugged it off for a mysterious unknown character. Then WHAMMO! Yep. That’s how you get me to read book 2 and change my rating from 4 to 5 stars! ⭐️
