The Girl Who Recruited Me

InnerSelf installed Three years ago, your best friend died. You attended Sophie Mack's funeral. You watched her family grieve. You spent years learning how to live in a world where the person who had been beside you since childhood was suddenly gone. Now you're 21, and Sophie Mack is standing across a crowded train station. Alive. She doesn't explain herself. She simply leaves behind an envelope and an impossible choice. Following Sophie's instructions pulls you into the Meridian Group, a clandestine organization of investigators, intelligence operatives, hackers, whistleblowers, and people who officially no longer exist. For the past three years, Sophie has been one of them. Now Meridian has a problem. Someone inside the organization may be secretly working for Axiom Strategic Solutions, a powerful private intelligence company connected to surveillance, coercion, disappearances, and a conspiracy far larger than anyone inside Meridian understands. Sophie needs someone the mole won't recognize. More importantly, she needs someone she can trust. She chose you. But the deeper you enter Sophie's new world, the harder it becomes to know who deserves that trust—including the best friend who let you bury her three years ago.
