About This Book
Katherine Debs has come a long way from the slums, but power at the top of the corporate ladder turns out to be its own kind of vulnerability. With her enemies forced into the shadows and her grip on alien technology keeping them there, Kat should feel safe—except she knows better than anyone how quickly that changes when someone determined enough is closing the distance behind you. Evolution builds on everything the Tower of Somnus series has established and sharpens it into something urgent: a race between two forces where the stakes are simultaneously deeply personal and world-altering. The tension here isn't just about survival—it's about what Kat is willing to become.
Cale Plamann writes progression fantasy with an unusually clear-eyed sense of consequence. The system mechanics feel genuinely meaningful rather than decorative, and Kat's decision-making carries the weight of a character who has earned her competence the hard way. By the fifth book, Plamann is working with a richly layered world and a protagonist whose voice is distinctive and lived-in—readers who have followed her journey will find this installment the most propulsive and focused yet.
