Months after refusing to work with MI6 again, Alex Rider is drawn back into the world of espionage when an experimental cyber-weapon - known only as Shadow Protocol - goes missing after the lead scientist mysteriously vanishes from a secret research facility in Switzerland.

MI6's hands are tied. Officially, the British government has no jurisdiction. Unofficially, they need someone off the books. Someone untraceable. Someone they can deny.

They need Alex Rider.

But as Alex infiltrates an elite international school linked to the missing scientist's son, he uncovers a conspiracy that stretches beyond MI6 - involving a rogue intelligence faction, digital warfare, and someone who knows more about his past than even he does.
What begins as a missing person case becomes a countdown to global paralysis - and the weapon behind it may not be software, but something far more dangerous:

A new kind of spy.

8 parts Ongoing
In 2025, the world is no longer what it seems. Beneath the neon-lit streets of global capitals, an ancient vampire syndicate wields invisible power over governments, corporations, and financial empires. Their ultimate goal: the Blood Treaty, a sinister plan to merge vampirism with governance, creating a new world order controlled through engineered hybrids and immortal elites. Jack Ryder, a former intelligence operative with latent lycanthropic blood, thought his battles ended when he left the agency. But when the Syndicate surfaces in New York, he is drawn into a shadow war that spans Berlin, Tokyo, Zurich, Reykjavik, and London. Partnering with Selene Kane, a rogue vampire operative seeking redemption, Jack must navigate deadly alliances, high-stakes espionage, and a forbidden romance that blurs the lines between human and monster. From the underground Crimson Market in Tokyo to the snowy tundras of Iceland, Ryder's journey is both outward and inward. As his hybrid powers awaken, he becomes the Syndicate's ultimate target and their unintended weapon. With psychic hacker Alex Moreno guiding them through the Syndicate's digital web, Ryder and Selene must dismantle centuries of blood-soaked dominion before Ashcroft's vision becomes unstoppable. The Shadow Protocol is a modern-day global vampire thriller-a cinematic, neo-noir fusion of espionage, supernatural power, cyber warfare, and forbidden love. It is a world where trust is scarce, enemies are eternal, and the line between predator and protector dissolves in crimson light.

August, 2015 Alex Rider doubts everything. A mission in Afghanistan led to the recovery of a drive that supposedly held security protocols, but instead, Alex discovers the names of 24 rouge agents on MI6's Most Wanted List. Emily Stone is more committed to her work than ever before. The girl who once questioned everything now seems to follow orders without a thought. Her compartmentalizing has taken its toll, and Alex no longer knows if he can trust even her with his suspicions. Their next mission is the most dangerous yet; terminate two retired CIA analysts and a retired MI6 assassin who were implicated in a plane explosion in 2013 and were recently spotted in DC. Before leaving for the States, Alex is told that Emily is compromised and is ordered to terminate her following the mission. Alex cannot begin to comprehend why MI6 would want Emily, one of their most successful agents, dead. But he is determined to find out. Book 2 in The Stone Chronicles. Sequel to Double Ode.
