Publisher's summary

The last thing Maldynado Montichelu - former aristocrat and current ladies' man - ever wanted was to be left in charge. After all, the team just blew up a train, crashed a dirigible, and kidnapped the emperor. It's kind of an important time. But, with Amaranthe captured by the nefarious Forge coalition, and Sicarius off to find her, the team is lacking in leaders. Also, Sicarius has made it clear that Maldynado's life may be forfeit should anything happen to the emperor while he's gone. To make matters worse, Forge's cutthroats are after Sespian, and the young emperor believes Maldynado's loyalties are suspect. As if it's his fault that his older brother is working with the coalition to usurp the throne.

If Maldynado can't figure out how to earn the emperor's trust quickly, Sespian will go off to confront their powerful enemies on his own. Meanwhile, Amaranthe must find a way to escape from the coalition's newest ally, Master Interrogator Pike, a man who plans to pull all of the secrets from her head, one way or another.

Favorite Series

I ran across the Emperors Edge series, quite by accident and have been hooked since the first book. This series never disappoints! I’m looking for the series to become the next book to be turned into a movie or series on a streaming network, that would rule! But, who would play the characters? Hmmm

Fantastic Book and Ending

Fantastic book and series, I love how we're finally getting more of the Emperor again. I've missed him since we haven't heard much about him since book 1. I love the series, and am eager for the rest to be available for audiobook. I can tell the new narrator tried hard to use the same style of voices as the first 3 books, and it's a little different at first, but overall, she did a fantastic job keeping the character voices close to the same style. Can't wait for the next book to be out!

Stay on the Edge of Your Seat!

What a great series! I went through this book in one day and can’t wait to get to the next one. The characters, the plot intricacies and the conversation is interesting, witty, moving and hilarious! Coupled with Vivienne who is an excellent reader makes for a super story. I’m glad Lindsay found her. Don’t miss this series!

Great book. Unfortunate the remaining in series not done

I love the whole series, having read them all before as well. I was very disappointed to see the rest of the series hasn’t been made into audio books as well.

007 in Fantasy Land

An engaging long storyline balancing action-mystery with tough relationships. Young adult level, with significant violence and pin. Also much levity and humor.
