Story4.5 out of 5 stars 252
Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: She can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads. But when ravaged bodies show up on the waterfront, an arson covers up human sacrifices, and a powerful business coalition plots to kill the emperor, she feels a tad overwhelmed. Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin, is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 50
After 10 years at war, Jev Dharrow looks forward to hanging up his sword, relaxing with a cool mug of ale, and forgetting that the love of his life married another man while he was gone. But when his ship sails into port, a beautiful woman wearing the garb of an inquisitor from one of the religious orders waits to arrest him. He’s accused of stealing an ancient artifact with the power to start another war. Jev would gladly hand over the artifact to stop more suffering, but he has no idea where it is or even what it looks like. The inquisitor woman definitely has the wrong person.

Telryn "Trip" Yert has always been a little odd, with hunches that are too accurate to explain. Magic is feared and forbidden in Iskandia, so he's struggled his whole life to hide his eccentricities. As a boy, he was forced to watch his mother's execution. Her crime? Witchcraft. Understandably, Trip wants nothing to do with the power that lurks within him, always threatening to reveal itself. Instead, he dedicates himself to serving as an officer in the king's army, to battling pirates and imperial conquerors. He longs to become a soldier as respected and renowned as General Zirkander.

A thousand years have passed since a dragon has been seen in the world. Science and technology have replaced magic, which has dwindled until it has become little more than an element of myth and legend. There are those who still have dragon blood flowing through their veins, distant descendants of the mighty creatures of old. These rare humans have the power to cast magic, the power to heal, and the power to craft alchemical weapons capable of starting wars...or ending them.

Publisher's Summary
It's been three months since former enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon and the notorious assassin Sicarius thwarted kidnappers and saved the emperor's life. The problem? Nobody knows they were responsible for this good deed. Worse, they're being blamed for the entire scheme. With enforcers and bounty hunters stalking them, and the emperor nursing a personal hatred for Sicarius, it's going to be hard to earn exoneration.
When Amaranthe's team discovers mutilated bodies in the city aqueducts and a mysterious illness incapacitates thousands of citizens, she and Sicarius see an opportunity to solve the mystery and prove their loyalty. But they'll have to defeat vengeful shamans, man-eating predators, and deadly mechanical constructs, all while dodging imperial soldiers who would rather kill them than accept their help.
Nobody said exoneration would be easy.

This series shows real promise
Would you listen to Dark Currents again? Why?
Definitely, the author has a gift for snappy dialog which is always going to play well on an audiobook
What did you like best about this story?
The team dynamics were interesting and well thought out and again some truly killer dialog
Have you listened to any of Starla Huchton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This series is the first I've listened to but I thought she did a credible job
Any additional comments?
This is not a perfect story by any means but it is thoroughly enjoyable which for an audiobook counts a lot more. Worth a listen

Reader ruined an amazing book for me.
What did you like best about Dark Currents? What did you like least?
I am a huge Emperor's Edge fan and have read all of the books in the series. I have been impatiently waiting for them to come out on Audiobook so that I could have them in both hard copy and Audio. The narrator who read this book was horrible in my opinion. Her voice never changes with the characters, and it sounds like she hasn't mastered the ability to infuse emotion into her voice. The entire book bleeds together in one tone and inflection. About the only good thing that I can think of about the narrator of this book is that she enunciates well. Did no one listen to this AudiioBook before it was released? Lindsey Buroker is such an amazing writer that I can't believe that she would pick this person to deliver her book in Audio format.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator was horrible! She ruined one of my favorite books, and I can only pray that she does not narrate the rest of the serious!
