Black Cat • Faithful Companion • Pendragon’s Nook Guardian
Sam is Lucy Pendragon’s quiet and constant companion, a short haired black cat who first appeared as a stray behind Pendragon’s Nook. Drawn by the warmth of the back door light and the meals Lucy set out for him, he gradually claimed the bookstore as his home and Lucy as his person. His calm presence and watchful eyes quickly became part of the shop’s gentle rhythm.
Inside the bookstore, Sam can usually be found perched on the counter, nestled among open books, or curled in the reading nook where sunlight gathers in the afternoons. He prefers quiet places, familiar footsteps, and the simple comfort of being near Lucy as she works. To customers he is a soft, steady presence, greeting regulars with silent acceptance and newcomers with measured curiosity.
Though he has no magical nature, Sam anchors Lucy in the life she built in Northmere. His companionship offers her warmth during long evenings in the shop and reassurance during moments of doubt. In a world that will soon reveal deep mysteries and ancient heritage, Sam remains the grounding thread of normalcy and affection in Lucy’s life.
Sam is a fictional companion created for the Lucy Pendragon series.
