The Requiem Protocol  (English, Paperback, Inika G. Tirath)

In a galaxy ravaged by over two centuries of war, Princess Callista of Exerus is sent deep into enemy territory— Noxara— with a fake name and a fabricated past. Her mission: to find and destroy the Requiem, a forbidden weapon so powerful it could wipe out entire planets. Disguised as Kayle Vexx, a hardened pit fighter from the outlawed planet Phade 97, Callista is told to earn trust, gain intel, and destroy the weapon before construction is complete. She expects a swift infiltration. Clean. Quiet. Over before anyone realizes who she really is. But Noxara isn’t what she expected, and neither is Darek, the formidable yet infuriating General who seems far too interested in the new recruit with no traceable history. What begins as mutual suspicion soon turns into reluctant partnership... and something neither of them can name. As missions grow intense and loyalties begin to blur, Callista starts to question everything— her orders, her enemies, and the part of herself that’s beginning to care for the people she was sent to destroy. As the days pass, she finds herself torn between her duty to Exerus and the life that she is beginning to build in Noxara. How long can she keep pretending before the truth catches up? Fast paced and emotionally charged, The Requiem Protocol is a gripping sci-fi debut about espionage, identity, and forbidden connection in a galaxy where trust is the most dangerous weapon of all.
