Trail of Shadows

A Fight for Justice in the Untamed West
by R. L. Mathis

When Helen Rayner and her younger sister arrive in the high country of the American West, they expect little more than a temporary refuge. What they find instead is a land ruled by silence, strength, and unspoken laws—and a danger that refuses to remain hidden.

Guided by a solitary mountain man and hardened by the wild beauty of Paradise Park, Helen is forced to reckon with a world where justice is not guaranteed and survival depends on courage, loyalty, and the will to stand firm when everything familiar is stripped away.

As rivalries ignite, outlaws circle, and threats close in from every direction, Helen must decide what kind of future she will fight for—and what kind of woman she is willing to become. In the shadows of the mountains, where love is tested and violence waits just beyond the tree line, the past can no longer be outrun.

Trail of Shadows is a powerful Western novel of endurance, honor, and quiet strength—where the land shapes those who dare to claim it, and justice is earned the hard way.
