Shadows Among the Peaks
by R.D. Smithson
A story of quiet courage, unseen sacrifice, and the moment ordinary people choose to stand. Join the Shepherd Circle and be among the first to walk this journey.
In a remote mountain village where fear has become a way of life, silence protects the powerful—and costs the innocent everything. When Eli Shephard arrives in Valle Oscuro, he isn’t looking to lead a rebellion or be seen as a hero. He comes to help quietly, protect the vulnerable, and move on unnoticed.
But small acts of courage have consequences.
As Eli earns the trust of a village long crushed by corruption, his quiet example begins to awaken something dangerous: hope. What starts in one forgotten place ripples outward, exposing a deeper web of power, greed, and deception that reaches far beyond the mountains.
Shadows Among The Peaks is an atmospheric, character-driven story about justice, dignity, and the quiet strength it takes to stand when the world tells you to stay silent. It’s a story for readers who value depth over speed, courage over spectacle, and hope that grows slowly—but lasts.
By joining the Shepherd Circle, you’ll receive early access to the novel ahead of its public release and help shape its launch through your honest reader feedback.
