Shadows Over Blue Ridge (Shadows - Ethan Carter Saga Book 2)

Two years after the darkness was exposed in Pine Hollow, life has begun to feel whole again.

The church is thriving.
Broken families are healing.
Faith has taken root where fear once ruled.

But in the mountains of Blue Ridge, something is stirring.

When children begin to disappear and entire homes are found abandoned—meals still on the table, doors left unlocked—Pastor Ethan Carter and investigator Joy Harrison are drawn back into a world they hoped was behind them. What begins as a quiet investigation soon reveals a suffocating silence that has gripped the mountain town for generations.

People won’t talk.
Churches are divided.
And evil feels closer than ever.

As Joy expands her investigative work and Ethan wrestles with the weight of his calling, they discover that the criminal network they once believed defeated never truly vanished—it simply retreated. Beneath the surface of Blue Ridge lies a system of fear, corruption, and trafficking tied to powerful figures who have survived by staying hidden.

When whispers of a familiar name resurface, the threat becomes personal.

Forced to confront spiritual warfare as real as any physical danger, Ethan and Joy must decide what faith truly demands when obedience carries a cost. With the help of unlikely allies, a growing youth movement, and a community learning to stand in the light, they push deeper into the shadows—knowing there may be no turning back.

Shadows Over Blue Ridge is a gripping story of courage, redemption, and unwavering faith in the face of darkness. It reminds us that while shadows may linger, they never outlast the light—and that God often does His greatest work in the places we fear most.
