The Emperor’s Edge Collection (Books 1, 2, and 3)
An enforcer wanted dead for crimes she didn’t commit…
An assassin wanted dead for crimes he did commit…
Normally, they would be enemies, but they both seek the same thing: exoneration.
Unfortunately, a nefarious underground organization is attempting to kill the one man who could grant it to them, the emperor. If they want to win their freedom, they’ll have to battle powerful wizards, outscheme master schemers, and defeat bloodthirsty monsters, all while dodging friendly fire and evading the law. Exoneration isn’t easy.
This boxed set includes the first three novels in this high fantasy adventure series: The Emperor’s Edge, Dark Currents, and Deadly Games. Each book is over 100,000 words.

|Five stars,
Why’d it take me so long to write a review? Um…because there are 8 books in the series, plus some incidental novellas and short stories, and all the books are a decent length and…all right, Lindsay Buroker IS a legend and I’ve been binge reading the whole series because of this box set.
It started out like something from one of the late Terry Pratchett’s novels…a female police-officer-equivalent making excuses for a less-than-conscientious co-worker…then stumbling on a crime with far-reaching consequences for herself and her nation. Amaranthe is unique, from her OCD tendencies to her irresistible silver tongue, so that despite her talent for causing explosions, she manages to charm the most hostile individuals.
Then there’s Sicarius…assassin, target and with significant similarities to a steampunk Terminator. At the beginning, I wasn’t sure what to make of him…but by the end of Book 3, I was dying to know what he’d do next.
Yes, there’s a cast of other, very strange characters and I admit to wanting to know everyone’s story…it’s no wonder I give this set five stars.
