My Little Shadow

A damaged ship. An impossible journey home. And one small companion who refuses to leave his side.

Elias Danell is alone in deep space aboard the crippled vessel Ardent.

Almost alone.

With him is Nala - his cat, his constant shadow, and the one familiar presence keeping him grounded as everything around him begins to fail.

The engine is damaged. Communications are unreliable. Power is running out. And rescue is far beyond reach.

When Elias discovers a decommissioned deep-space station drifting in the darkness, it offers a fragile chance of survival. But every solution comes with another risk: freezing corridors, failing life support, dangerous spacewalks, dwindling oxygen, and choices where there may be no right answer.

Through fear, exhaustion and moments when survival seems impossible, Nala remains beside him.

Quiet.

Watchful.

Always there.

But the closer Elias gets to home, the more the journey begins to reveal that survival is not only about keeping a body alive.

Sometimes it is about what the mind holds onto when everything else has been taken away.

My Little Shadow is an emotional standalone science-fiction novel about survival, companionship, grief, love, and the ones we carry with us long after they are gone.
