The Cardinals - Paperback

Drugs, sex, and secret parties are only the beginning for Imane Giroud, an ethical hacker with a rebellious commitment to taking down corruption. In the middle of a hacking operation, her father points her to a man named Laurent Domine, a prominent art curator and member of one of the most secretive societies in the world, les Cardinaux. Imane thinks he is going to help her take down a chemical company called Oronics, but the meeting turns into something much, much more than that. Her hacking abilities and intellect make her the perfect candidate for recruitment into the Cardinals, a progressive secret society currently threatened by a radicalized group of six former members. The group known as the Six, believe creativity is a danger to the world and will attempt anything to destroy the valuable cultural works that the Cardinals have in their possession. Artistry, hidden chambers, and masquerade parties are just some of the things that Imane Giroud encounters along the way, as she is the one chosen to keep the Cardinals safe. But not everything is as it seems, including her father. The Cardinals is a thrilling journey that fuses modern culture with a vibrant exploration into a world of the nearly unbelievable. What is imagined and what is real is only for you to tell.
