Fifteen-year-old Ellie Quinn knows how to survive.
She can track through the woods, disappear off the grid, and hit a target with a crossbow from fifty yards away. What she can't do? Lead a team of teen spies through the most connected city in the world.
Which becomes a problem when every screen at Brightwood Academy suddenly glitches with one word:
EREBUS
Hours later, chaos erupts in Times Square.
Teenagers riot without warning. Phones become triggers. And someone is using technology to turn kids into something dangerous.
Ellie is sure Theo-the rogue former director of Brightwood-is behind it. But stopping him means going undercover in New York City with a team of barely trained teen spies, influencer disguises, zero technology, and a mission that keeps spiraling out of control.
Especially when the internet mistakes them for celebrities.
Now Ellie and her team have to stay off the grid while uncovering what EREBUS really is, how it works, and what Theo is planning next. But in a city filled with cameras, phones, and screens, disappearing is nearly impossible.
And the closer Ellie gets to the truth, the bigger the threat becomes.
Because Theo isn't just targeting Brightwood anymore.
If Ellie can't stop him, every screen on Earth could become a weapon.
Perfect for fans of Spy School, fast-paced YA mysteries, and teen spy adventures packed with action, humor, conspiracies, and found-family chaos.
One mission. Zero trust. Total chaos.
