CL Walters

Surviving the trials was only the beginning. With her placement secure, Imogene Sol decides it's time to clear her name. As her friends scatter across the Federation, she remains at the Ring Academy seeking answers. Her decision comes at a cost: isolation and a past she can't shake. But running isn't what she wants; she stayed for the truth. Only, the more she digs, the more she discovers the details surrounding her parents' crime aren't adding up. When coded messages from an old enemy who tried to kill her arrive followed by the strike of the shadow of death, Imogene realizes her digging might have roused something far more dangerous than she realized.
More determined to find the truth, Imogene disappears into the Bellenium Galaxy, hunted. Relying on her training and the help of friends, old and new, Imogene is in a race to unravel the code. Except The Cipher of Tolo is a secret that could rewrite the federation and the truth might carry a cost far greater than she ever wanted to pay. Book two in a four-book, new adult space opera series features galactic intrigue, found family, yearning, and a heroine discovering that the truth always comes at a cost.
