Shadow Status

A talented young hacker. A desperate artificial intelligence. The fate of two worlds.

Sixteen-year-old Jaffrey Pewitt holds a life-threatening secret. A genetic outcast, the brilliant teen’s academy scores have earned him a position patrolling the mainframe and eliminating rogue program code ― a job prohibited to those with his DNA. And when he encounters an illegal AI, she threatens to expose his true identity if he doesn’t help her community survive.

Torn between loyalty to his people and protecting himself, Jaffrey walks a knife's edge in a play for more time. But when his superiors upload a massive virtual war machine that causes a lethal power surge, the cost in digital and human lives convinces him that the future of both species may be doomed.

Can Jaffrey choose the right side before it’s too late?

Shadow Status is an explosive standalone cyberpunk novel. If you like clever heroes, intricate puzzles, and deep moral quandaries, then you’ll love River K. Scott’s electrifying thrill-ride.

Ages 12 and up. Some language, simulated violence
