Into the Wilderness

Storm of Shadows, Book 1

De: Matthew Mangum

Narrado por: Sean S Thomas

In the vast, untouched wilderness of Arizona, where jagged mountains and sweeping valleys collide under an endless sky, one man’s search for solitude becomes an unexpected journey into the unknown. Jake had come to these remote acres to find a reprieve from the noise of the world, hoping to reconnect with the land and his own resilience. But fate had other plans.

What begins as a quiet camping trip quickly spirals into a surreal encounter with a mysterious woman who appears out of nowhere, bruised and terrified, speaking in a language he’s never heard. As a massive, unearthly storm rolls in, he finds himself drawn to protect her—only to discover that her secrets run far deeper than he could have imagined. Aria, as he comes to know her, is not from his world. Her presence holds the key to knowledge that powerful forces—both human and alien—are desperate to contain, at any cost.

In Into the Wilderness, Jake and Aria’s escape through the Arizona backcountry becomes a fight for survival and a test of trust. As they dodge relentless pursuers and piece together Aria’s past, a bond grows between them, a flickering light in the dark. But with every step, the danger deepens, and the wilderness they once saw as refuge becomes both ally and adversary in their quest for freedom.

Their story is one of intrigue and resilience, love and survival, as they journey through the rugged landscape to evade those who would stop at nothing to capture them. In these remote hills and valleys, their secrets may be unearthed, and their lives forever changed.
