Synopsis (Goodreads):
When an orbital prison is torn through a wormhole and crashes on an unknown planet, it's every woman for herself to escape the wreckage.

As though savage beasts and harsh, alien climates aren't enough, the survivors discover the world isn't uninhabited and must face new challenges—risking not only their lives but their hearts.

DEJA thought she could fear nothing more than the daily treatments she received during her imprisonment on the Concord. The horrible experiments which rack her body with unimaginable, searing pain. But she discovers the true meaning of terror as she clings to life pod’s harness while plummeting toward the surface of an unknown planet.

Struggling to outrun the beasts hunting her, fighting to outrun the light, Deja hastens for the only cover she can find — between the feet of a giant stone statue. Only statues aren’t supposed to move, or wrap you in their arms and carry you off INTO SHADOW…
Thoughts on Shadowed: Another installment in the Sonhadra series and I'm still loving learning about the different Valos and the cities they've carved out for themselves. The Creators still suck, but SO IT GOES, right?

Anywho. Deja. That lady has it rough. The experiments have left her with a complete intolerance for the sun and she's hurting when the ship breaks apart and she ends up on the planet's surface. Seriously hurting.

Fortunately for her, she met the Valos who live in shadows. Well, met might be slightly inaccurate. She climbed one of them thinking it was a statue and ended up bringing a powerful protector to life with her blood. He, in turn, brought his compatriots back and suddenly she has not one, but three guardians dedicated to keeping her safe.

Again, I'm loving the different aspects of the Valos we're meeting. Izax, Azurryn, and Arkhan were literal shadows before their transformation. I just...like that. I like how there are so many different interpretations of what these Valos can do and how they've been altered by their Creators. (Although the Creators are still buttmonkeys, but that's another story.)
