How far can you go before the silence breaks you?

Commander Solene Ellis has left Earth behind forever. Now she drifts through the void aboard the colony ship Nia Kvara, watching over 100,000 colonists in hibernation. Only Ava, the shipโ€™s AI, keeps her company.

The voyage spans 3,000 years, but for Solene, time comes in fragmentsโ€”fleeting moments of wakefulness between long, frozen sleeps. Hours blur into decades. Memories unravel. In the stillness, she begins to lose track not only of time, but of herself.

And solitude in deep space doesnโ€™t stay quiet for long. Whispers echo where no one should be. Shadows shift just beyond her vision. A mysterious vessel appears in the void. Even Ava starts to actโ€ฆ strangely.

As reality fractures, Solene must face a terrifying is something out there hunting themโ€”or has her own mind become the true threat? For readers of literary science fiction, space horror, and character-driven psychological drama, HomeAdrift is a story of isolation, survival, and what it means to find home when there’s nowhere left to go.
