Phones can be hacked. Kids can too.
What if one message could turn teens everywhere into weapons?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 inside 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.
Theo—the rogue former Brightwood director—is behind it. Ellie is sure of that. 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 must figure out how EREBUS works before Theo launches it worldwide. Because if he succeeds, every screen on Earth could become a weapon.
