“A brilliantly written, pacy read ”
- Irish Examiner
An addictive thriller from the most sensational new voice
in YA fiction.
When sixteen-year-old Asha Kennedy discovers her older sister
Maya's dead body in their home, her world falls apart. Desperate
for answers, and to stay out of the hands of the social
services she grew up in, Asha turns to her hacker friends for help.
Her search leads her to Zu Tech, the hit games studio where Maya
was a lead coder. As Asha begins to unravel the riddle of her
death, she realises that the only way to uncover the truth is from
the inside.
Asha ghosts her old life and infiltrates a Zu Tech eSport tournament
as they launch 'SHACKLE', the revolutionary Virtual Reality
video game Maya was working on - and which hides a monstrous
secret...
Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and A Good
Girl's Guide to Murder
A guaranteed page turner full of heart, tension and twists you
won't see coming!
