Shadows in the Wilderness

There is something primal about the forest. It predates your voice, your tools, your stories. When you enter it, you do not bring civilization - you bring history. Unspoken. Unprocessed. Undeniable. This story began as a question: *What happens when people on the run collide in a space that doesn't care who's right or wrong - only who's willing to remember?* Set in the Kumaon region of India, this tale blends crime, trauma, myth, and wilderness - not as tropes, but as forces that shape who we become when stripped of everything else. Shadows in the Wilderness is not just a thriller. It is a descent - and, if the characters are lucky, an emergence. If you find a piece of yourself in these shadows - welcome back.
