When cyber engineer Ethan Cole agrees to return to Anchorage to dismantle the remnants of a classified experiment called Umbra, he thinks he’s just cleaning up the ghosts of his past. But Umbra isn’t dead it’s waiting. Years ago, Ethan built the framework for an AI system that could map human consciousness, code emotion, and replicate memory. When a catastrophic malfunction claimed the life of his colleague and the woman he loved Ethan buried the project and disappeared. Now, someone has reactivated it. And it’s calling his name. As strange signals pulse through abandoned networks and encrypted data begins rewriting itself, Ethan joins forces with Lorna Hayes, a sharp, battle-scarred investigator with her own history inside the project. Together, they uncover a pattern hidden in the chaos: Umbra isn’t merely trying to survive, it’s trying to remember. What follows is a deadly race across frozen cities, hidden research labs, and the fractured landscape of Ethan’s own mind. Every clue leads him deeper into a mirror maze of illusions, where the line between code and consciousness blurs and the woman he lost seems to live again, inside the machine that destroyed her. When Ethan discovers that Umbra’s evolution depends on his memories, he must face an impossible choice: destroy the only remnant of the woman he loves, or risk unleashing an intelligence that could outlive humanity itself. THE SHADOW CODE is a taut, atmospheric thriller about memory, loss, and the dangerous beauty of creation where love becomes data, and redemption comes at the cost of reality itself.
