When his best friend Tom is abducted, Alex Rider is given an ultimatum by Nightshade – a sinister cult of assassins with a score to settle. But what twisted evil are they planning, and how is it connected to a revolutionary new gaming system? With no idea who to trust, Alex finds himself dragged into a nightmare world – where nothing is real but the game could kill you.

The clock is ticking, and Nightshade is closing in. Alex must use all of his skills and resources to save his friend and stop the cult's evil plans. He must navigate through a world of augmented reality, where the line between reality and fantasy is blurred, and where the game could be his ultimate enemy.

As Alex delves deeper into the mystery, he discovers that Nightshade is not just a group of assassins, but a powerful organization with a hidden agenda. They are using the gaming system to control and manipulate people, and their ultimate goal is to gain control of the world.

Alex must face his fears and doubts and trust his instincts if he wants to survive. He must also confront his own past and the secrets he has been keeping from his friends and family. With the help of his new allies, Alex must stop Nightshade before it is too late.

This much-awaited new book in the bestselling Alex Rider series continues Alexs fight against the deadly assassins encountered in the last book, Nightshade. Alex still has unfinished business with this sinister group made up of brainwashed children, not least trying to reunite MI6 chief Mrs. Jones, along with her long-lost son and daughter. The adventure takes us deep into the life-changing world of augmented reality, where even Alex will struggle to succeed against the technology.

A thrilling new challenge for the world's best-loved teen superspy.
