Encrypted - Lindsay Buroker

Encrypted is the first novel in the Encrypted Series.

Professor Tikaya Komitopis was arguably the one person who brought the war between Turgonia and Nuria to an end. Her decrypting of Turgonian messages and passing them along to the Nurians kept the Turgonians from taking over the Nurians and her own people of the Kyatt Islands. But when the war was over the Turgonians kidnap Tikaya, partly for revenge and partly because they need her to decrypt a language never seen before. Tikaya is locked in the hold of a ship with one other prisoner know as five. They join forces and eventually overcome their Turgonian capturers and so much more. Very highly recommended.
