Barricades - Shadows of the Past Part One by Christian Tizya (PDF)
After fifteen years behind bars, Wilbur Klichuk walks free—but freedom is complicated. The world has moved on without him, and the scars of the past still linger. His nephews, JJ and Darnell, have taken different paths—one carving out a life in the city, the other keeping the old ways alive in Mooseback Nation. But Wilbur’s return threatens to unearth old wounds, forcing them all to confront the unfinished war their family fought decades ago.
As Wilbur searches for redemption, JJ wrestles with his own identity—torn between the traditions of his people and the pull of the modern world. Meanwhile, Darnell clings to the Integrity Branch, the resistance movement that once defined their father’s legacy, even as their homeland is overrun by corruption, crime, and outside forces.
But ghosts don’t stay buried.
A prophetic dream, a long-lost guitar, and a chance encounter with a stranger set events in motion that will change everything. As the shadows of the past stretch into the present, one truth becomes clear:
Their fight was never over. It’s only just begun.
