Chasing the Shadows cover

In a future where survival is uncertain, Lyra must navigate danger and deception after her death in Chasing the Shadows to protect her loved ones.

In Chasing the Shadows, the story unfolds in the year 2522, where protagonist Lyra Daniels faces an extraordinary predicament after her death—albeit a brief one. For sixty-six seconds, she crosses the threshold between life and death, only to return with a new identity and a striking uniform. This transformation is not merely cosmetic; it enhances her already impressive worming skills, allowing her to manipulate the Q-net like never before. However, her resurrection must remain a secret, especially from the dangerous looters who threaten her existence and the lives of those she holds dear.

As the looters believe that silence equates to death, Lyra and her companions are left in a precarious position. With a Protector Class spaceship on the way, they must endure nearly two years of uncertainty and danger. The looming threat of the looters is ever-present, and Lyra is determined to outsmart them. With time running out and resources dwindling, she must devise a plan to thwart an alien menace that seems unstoppable. The stakes are high, and the pressure mounts as the countdown to their potential rescue begins.

Chasing the Shadows is a gripping tale of resilience and ingenuity, where survival hinges on deception and quick thinking. Lyra's journey is a testament to the lengths one will go to protect loved ones, even when faced with insurmountable odds. As she navigates this treacherous landscape, the question remains: will her efforts be enough to save her and her people from impending doom?
