Parker has learned to live in the darkness. Each day, he hides the pain of a brutal home life, working at a bakery to escape the crushing weight of violence. But when he fails to show up for work one morning, his absence sends a ripple through his quiet world.

Hal, a local bar owner, has always kept his distance from Parker, but something about the young man's quiet suffering draws him in. When Hal starts to piece together the broken fragments of Parker's life, he's consumed with a need to protect him-even if it means confronting the dangerous force that holds Parker captive.

As Parker's carefully constructed world starts to crack, he must decide whether to keep hiding or trust Hal with his darkest secrets. But the shadows that have defined his life may be more dangerous than either of them could have imagined.

In this gripping, emotional tale of survival and the fight for freedom, Between the Shadows explores the power of trust, the weight of fear, and the hope that even in the darkest corners, someone might be waiting to bring you into the light.All Rights Reserved
