Faery in Shadow is a fantasy novel by science fiction and fantasy author C. J. Cherryh. It was first published in the United Kingdom by Legend Books in August 1993 in trade paperback, and the first United States edition was published by Ballantine Books under its Del Rey Books imprint in November 1993 in hardcover. It was nominated for the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel in 1994.
Faery in Shadow is a sequel to Cherryh's novella The Brothers, which was first published in her 1986 collection of short fiction, Visible Light, and is based in part on Celtic Mythology, featuring such creatures as the fay race of the Sídhe, including pooka. Its setting is suffused with magical forces and supernatural beings, marking it as an example of the High Fantasy literary subgenre. Cherryh also borrows elements from Horror Fiction for the book.
A major revision of Faery in Shadow entitled Faery Moon, with a new copyright, was self-published by Cherryh as an e-book in December 2009.
