Publisher Description
All Sergeant Evrial Yara wanted was to protect the young emperor from those plotting to kill him. Joining forces with a group of notorious outlaws wasn’t part of the plan, especially not when one of them is determined to charm her out of her uniform at every turn. Working with the criminals might have been worth it if their efforts had saved the emperor, but it seems he’s not the rightful heir to the throne.... Evrial may have thrown away her career for nothing.
To make matters worse, fate isn’t going to give her time to calmly decide what to do next. While she’s traveling back to the capital with Amaranthe Lokdon and the rest of the outlaws, Evrial uncovers artifacts that have been smuggled aboard their steamboat. They’re deadly enough to threaten the entire city, perhaps the entire empire. Oh, and they could kill everybody on board the boat too. These scenarios just weren’t discussed in the Enforcer Academy.
This 56,000-word novella takes place between Books 5 and 6 in the Emperor’s Edge series.
Customer Reviews
Well written. Great action/adventure! Love it!
The team has expanded and they work so well together. I am intrigued with how these characters get out of tight spots. Sicarius is showing some more depth and is influenced by the one he loves. Then there’s some unexpected (?) bonding (no spoiler details).
I do wonder how they survive the cold when wet without fire or blankets. It made me shiver just reading about it.

What can I say? She never fails to impress with hilarious banter and crazy schemes. She has a perfect blend of characters and chaos. Thanks for another masterpiece!
Beneath the Surface
This book could use some more proofreading. Considering how short this is, there was quite a bit of recap and over-explaining. There were a number of plot holes and I felt like I was reading fan fiction.
