Vaironian Tides (The Agitator's Code Book 1)

Who’s winning and what does winning mean?

Darion Navarr savors a challenge. As a Negotiator for the Vaironian Government, he matches wits against Tolrek Marou, the nation’s most notorious rebel.

Tolrek Marou, an ace mecha pilot, jeopardizes his prominent military career. When he and his fellow pilots are blamed for the loss of a recent war, he leads a rebellion.

Tolrek ultimately surrenders to the government, but Darion suspects Tolrek has hidden motives. Even as Tolrek is taken into custody, he’s focused on finding out why he’s still so important to Vaironia. Once he gets that answer, he plans on taking full advantage of the situation. His largest obstacle is Darion, who Tolrek believes understands him too well.

Both Darion and Tolrek are intelligent and stubborn, pushing each other psychologically and physically. Negotiations, small and large, impact their relationship. With the many stakes involved, who’s winning and what does winning mean?
