After legendary spies Ben and Erica Hale finally settle into a rare moment of peace, they believe the most dangerous chapters of their lives are behind them. They're wrong.
Their son, Jake Hale, is fourteen, quiet, and far too exceptional for a normal life. In middle school, he's already a mathematical genius on par with his father, Level 16 in advanced mathematics, while also inheriting his mother's terrifying combat instincts. With a photographic memory, unnatural adaptability, and an instinct for fighting that borders on frightening, Jake learns faster than anyone around him-whether he wants to or not.
But genius doesn't make life simple.
When Jake gets into a violent fight at the end of the school year while defending a classmate, he's suspended for two weeks. Instead of punishing him, his parents recognize the truth: normal school was never going to suit him. So they offer him a choice.
Spy School.
There, Jake reunites with his older (adopted) sister Yuki Hale, now a fifth-year student and one of the academy's top operatives. Thrown into a world of elite training, deadly simulations, and ruthless competition, Jake must learn to survive among prodigies, soldiers, hackers, and future legends. Along the way, he finds new friends, powerful rivals, and one particularly dangerous girl who might be both. But the academy is no longer just a school.
A new organization-even more secretive and more terrifying than the long-defeated Obsidian Directive-has begun to move in the shadows. Their first strike is devastating: a 100-million-dollar bounty is placed on every member of the team that once saved the world-Ben, Erica, and their closest allies. Hunted by every assassin, mercenary, and criminal syndicate on the planet, the adults are forced into hiding, which leaves only one line of defense.
The students.
Now, Jake, Yuki, and their friends must do the impossible: uncover an enemy no one can see, stop a war no one believes is coming, and survive long enough to grow up.
