وصف الناشر
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.

The Emperor’s Edge
A fast paced entertaining read with plausible dialogue, a deft subtle sense of humor, and good character development.
The emperors edge
In depth characters, enjoyable, convoluted, plot lines. Really good that the plan failed which you don’t see in many storylines.
Finally - a Smart Hero!
Yes, she’s also lucky, but what hero isn’t? Exciting action, narrow escapes, eclectic characters, noble motives, agonizing regrets, good and bad decisions … and a protagonist who actually thinks about her situation (well, when she has a moment to do so). What’s not to like?
