When shadows begin to move at dusk in the foggy harbor town of Foxglove Hollow, sixteen-year-old photographer Elodie Tran captures something impossible—a boy's shadow where no one stands. As colors fade from seawall murals and a forgotten tragedy resurfaces, Elodie and her friends uncover a ghost bound to lies, guilt, and a vanished funicular. To set the spirit free, they must expose the truth buried in glass, light, and silence. The Spirit in the Shadows is a haunting YA ghost story about memory, justice, and letting the past be seen.
