The Emperor's Edge
The Emperor's Edge, no. 1
Publisher Description
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. Either they have an unprecedented belief in her skills... or someone wants her dead.

Great story, more please.
Introduction to a steampunk world with a touch of magic.
This is a land where a young king is kept under the influence of drugs and hence the control of his regent. A female member of the Watch, which polices the realm, attracts the king's attention so is sent on a suicidal mission to capture or kill an Assassin. When she instead befriends the Assassin, she is framed and outlawed.
