The Shadow Roads

Every road remembers. Some carry you home. Some steal your name. And some demand a price you never meant to pay.

After crossing the Bone Gate, Haven thought she had left the dangers of memory behind. But the high hills are not refuge-they are alive, listening, their silence sharper than teeth. The shadow roads twist through them, ancient paths that bind bargains, debts, and names too heavy to carry. Each step Haven takes pulls her deeper into a web of forgotten promises and haunting figures who know her better than she knows herself.

Guided by a restless raven and pursued by shadows that will not let her go, Haven must decide which debts she will honor, which she will break, and which she dares to claim in her own name. For on the shadow roads, every choice has a cost-and every cost remembers.

Lyrical, atmospheric, and haunting, The Shadow Roads is Book Two of the In-Between Chronicles, a dark fable about memory, bargains, and the perilous price of walking where the quiet has teeth.
