Blood and Betrayal

The Emperor's Edge, Book 5

By: Lindsay Buroker

Narrated by: Vivienne Leheny

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.

Excellent Series!

This has become one of my favorite series. I am anxiously awaiting the next book!

Much better than the last book

Really enjoyed this story and having Sespian with the Emperors edge. Sicarius was entertaining as usual. Good book

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

Twists and turns

Pulls you in and it’s so hard to put down. Looking forward to the next book…..

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.
