Cyber Warrior

Seventeen-year-old Roni is thrust into a deadly mission to smuggle a defector to safety, where every ally might be an enemy - and failure isn't an option.

Roni Padilla thought her summer would be defined by college prep and her best friend Kenzie's ongoing debates about geopolitics. Instead, she's swept into a covert CIA operation to escort a North Korean defector with a knack for hacking and a sharp tongue, Jang Saero-yi, to safety. Their cover? A faux reality K-drama TV crew filming in Sausalito and beyond. But the mission's stakes rise fast as Roni discovers that the defection is only the first move in a dangerous game for global control of telepathic prodigies - a resource as finite as it is volatile.

As the team's path winds from San Francisco's bustling streets to Seoul's glitzy waterfront, Roni must navigate double agents, Maxim - a ghost from her past with his own shadowy loyalties - and her closest friend, who doesn't trust the CIA's motives. Her wit and determination are tested at every turn, especially when it becomes clear that allies are scarce, and betrayal is everywhere as they battle to outwit ruthless agents bent on returning Jang to Pyongyang at any cost.

Cyber Warrior, the third instalment of The Mind Game series, is a taut, intelligent thriller that blends razor-sharp tension with moments of vulnerability and dark humor. Perfect for fans of The Queen's Gambit and Killing Eve, this novel explores the blurry lines between loyalty and manipulation, the cost of survival, and the bonds that form in the most unexpected places.

When every decision feels like a trap, will Roni have what it takes to outmaneuver her enemies and protect the people she's come to care about? Or will the mission's stakes be her undoing?
