LUKE CRAWFORD IS FREE. HIS PAST IS NOT. After serving seven years for a single, irreversible mistake, Luke thought he could find anonymity and peace by returning to the only place that ever felt like home: the Appalachian Trail. He accepts a solitary, demanding job maintaining the trail's wildest, most remote sections—a silent penance for a violent act he can never truly escape. For months, he walks the line, haunted only by memories. But when a series of unsettling events begins to mirror the darkest elements of his past, Luke realizes his quiet isolation is an illusion. Someone knows who he is. Someone is watching. As the dense wilderness closes in, Luke must determine if the danger lurking in the shadows is a vengeful enemy, a manifestation of his own guilt, or the shadowy figure of Pilot , the one person he always feared he left behind. Shadow: A Trail of Redemption is a gripping psychological thriller about the staggering cost of forgiveness and the relentless pursuit of freedom on the longest footpath in the world.
