Level 5

Before readers meet Clea in Operation Zero Bullying, she was already fighting threats in cyberspace alongside her fellow BitGuard hackers. When the group detects strange activity in the Digital Realm, what seems like a routine mission leads them into a system under Level 5 alert: a hidden zone where every test, every defense, and every fragment of corrupted code seems designed to tear the team apart. There, Clea faces an enemy capable of manipulating the digital environment, anticipating their moves, and turning every decision into a trap. But she also discovers something unexpected: an artificial intelligence named RAM, whose presence will change forever the way she understands the world beyond the screen. Between impossible corridors, invisible threats, and allies pushed to their limits, Clea must trust her instincts, her teammates, and an AI she does not yet know whether she can call a friend. Level 5 is a prequel from the universe of Clea, The Ethical Hacker. A young adult science fiction and digital fantasy adventure for readers who enjoy hackers, artificial intelligence, virtual worlds, and stories where technology can be both a weapon and a refuge.
