The SIA will stop at nothing to keep the past buried...

Teenage daredevil Annika Helmcott lives life on the edge - dodging lasers, competing in a survival game show, and serving as a top agent for the Secret Intelligence Agency (SIA). To the outside world, she's unstoppable, but beneath her tough exterior a dark shadow haunts her: her mother's death in an accident four years earlier. When Annika is sent on a high-risk mission to retrieve vital information for the SIA, she uncovers more than she bargained for. Her refusal to hand the intel over leads to her kidnapping by the very organization she works for, thrusting her into a dangerous game of manipulation and distrust.

As she struggles to make sense of the SIA's true motives, Annika and her friends begin to piece together the truth that her mother's death may not have been an accident after all. Along the way, they make more allies-and enemies- than they ever expected. With the SIA closing in, Annika must confront the lies, betrayal, and corruption that threaten everything she holds dear.

Shadow's Edge is the first book in The Helmcott Chronicles, a suspense-filled tale of mystery, loyalty, and the relentless pursuit of truth in a world built on deception.
