Cloudwalkers - Roy Sims

Two college kids. One illegal empire. One secret that changes everything.

Reid Calloway is a nineteen-year-old foster kid on a full scholarship with a genius for building things that shouldn't exist. Cal Maddox is his partner, a reckless charmer who handles the human side of their operation with the instincts of a con artist and the loyalty of a brother.

Together they've built something dangerous, profitable, and invisible. They run it from the shadows of a campus that has no idea what's happening behind closed doors. Parties, clubs, girls, Bitcoin. Life is fast and the money is good and nobody is asking questions.

Until something arrives on their screen that was never meant for them. Something they can't unsee. Something that puts them in the crosshairs of people with the kind of power that makes problems disappear.

Now two teenagers are in a game they were never built for, where the wrong move means prison or worse, and the only way out runs straight through everything they've spent their lives hiding from.

A dark, propulsive thriller about loyalty, guilt, genius, and what happens when the thing you built to protect yourself becomes the thing the world needs most.
