The Cipher of Tolo - Paperback

by CL Walters (Author)

Surviving the Trials was only the beginning.

Imogene Sol chose to remain at Ring Academy while her friends scattered across the Federation. It's a decision that has left her isolated and unable to outrun her past. But running isn't what she wants. She stayed for the truth about her parents. As she searches, she's built a fragile connection with Sirkuhl Adim Glyn and is carving out her space at Ring as a halo with the goal of joining Legion. The more she digs, however, the more she discovers that in the shadow of her parents' crimes the details don't add up.

Meanwhile, Timaeus Kade resists Imogene's gravity. Understanding their relationship is impossible, he focuses on his own work with the highest official in the Federation. Secretly, he works to help Imogene unravel the web of information around her parents. The more information he uncovers, the more he realizes he may not be able to save her-or himself- from the truth she's chasing.

When a coded message arrives from an enemy Imogene thought she'd escaped, and an unexpected death occurs shortly after, Imogene realizes her digging might have awoken a more dangerous enemy. Hunted by a faceless adversary, Imogene disappears into the Bellenium Galaxy, relying on the few people she trusts. Decoding the message becomes crucial and the key to something far bigger.

The Cipher of Tolo has a secret that could rewrite the Federation and this time, survival won't be enough.

A new adult space opera series that features galactic intrigue, found family, forbidden longing, and a heroine discovering that the truth always comes at a cost.
