Those are just the opening salvos of The Shadow Files, Rose Sandy’s high-octane thriller series that “thrusts brilliant, daring women into covert missions that ricochet from boardrooms and deep-sea labs to glittering palaces and cyber-skies.”

What readers can expect

Brain-and-brawn heroines who rewrite the rulebookJewel Carlone, Aria Raith and Vienne Washington don’t wait to be rescued; they break codes, pilot submersibles, hack satellites and, when cornered, fight their way out. Each book centres a new lead so you can dive in anywhere, yet a shared, clandestine agency threads the novels together.

Plausible tech—and the moral knots it ties
Rose has collaborated with ex-military strategists, disease sleuths and cybersecurity experts to keep every gadget, forensic technique and black-ops protocol authentic, daring and one heart-beat ahead of the headlines.

Cinematic globetrotting
From the vaults beneath the Tower of London to bio-islands in the Maldives and tech markets in Tokyo, the series turns the world map into a minefield. Expect cliff-edge dives and midnight chases through palace corridors lit by smuggled code-keys.

Adrenaline-paced structure
Short, punch-rich chapters end on cliff-hangers engineered to detonate your “just one more page” promise, perfect for binge-reading on a long flight or a rainy weekend.

Heart as well as hazard
Romantic sparks flare amid the danger. Relationships evolve organically, asking whether love can survive in a world where trust itself is classified.

Why Rose Sandy created The Shadow Files

Raised on the diplomatic circuit, Rose spent her childhood “immersed in a tapestry of international cultures,” hopping embassies with a passport full of odd-hour stamps and stories whispered in a dozen languages.

Those border-hopping years left her obsessed with the power and peril of information that travels faster than any passport control.

Add a lifelong tech geek streak (“you’ll often find me at the British Library … or exploring Churchill’s War Rooms”) and countless conversations with ex-military and intelligence officers, and the blueprint for The Shadow Files emerged:
Thrillers that fuse cutting-edge science, moral grey zones and globe-spanning intrigue, starring women who refuse to be sidekicks. 

Rose believes fiction should propel readers “to exciting worlds … and leave a sense of adventure that lingers long after the final page.” 

With more than half a million downloads worldwide, the numbers suggest she’s on to something.
