Brother Hut is beloved, charismatic and respected - a man the town trusts without question. But behind the pulpit lies a master of manipulation, weaving desire, secrecy and control into the lives of those around him.
From the longing schoolteacher Krista to the observant eyes of his son, Hut's hidden world blurs the line between faith and temptation. As suspicion rises and the church demands answers, he must navigate exposure, protect his secrets and maintain the illusion of righteousness.
A dark, provocative story of power, desire and deception, The Preacher's Shadow will keep you questioning who is innocent - and who is truly in control.
