Forged in Blood II - Lindsay Buroker

Forged in Blood II is the seventh novel in the Emperor's Edge series. This is supposed to be the lasts book in the series, but something tells me that may not be the case. Perhaps it's because not all the heroes die, or perhaps it's because I found a book eight. The whole Emperor's Edge series is definitely worth reading.

Amaranthe and her band are all pulled back from the edge of their cliff hangers. The fight for the empire continues. More magic and more alien artifacts cause our heroes grief. To make matters worse, someone has released a pack of the dreaded makarovi. Amaranthe still has scars from the last time her team fought with those beasts. Not all the Emperor's Edge make it out if this one alive. Very highly recommended.
