Publisher's summary

The emperor has been ousted from the throne, his bloodline is in question, and war is descending on the capital. Forge, the nefarious business coalition that has been manipulating the political situation from the beginning, has the ultimate weapon at its disposal.

If it was difficult for a small team of outlaws - or, as Amaranthe has decided they should now be called, rebels - to make a difference before, it's a monumental task now.

If she's to return idealistic young Sespian to the throne, earn the exoneration she's sought for so long, and help her closest ally win the respect of the son who detests him, she'll have to employ an unprecedented new scheme, preferably without destroying the city - or herself - in the process.

4 and a half

Although action packed, Forged in Blood is very similar to the books before it. In spite of the fact that it was a bit formulaic, I still found it entertaining and interesting. I can't wait to finish the series.

Amaranth and Sicarius are back in stumps

Waited seems like forever for this to come out. Love this series. I have listened to the first 5 books and 5.5 seems like 20 times already. Its like listening to an old friend whose adventures are sad / funny and captivating. Can not wait for Part 2:)

The action and cliff hangers continue!

The characters continue to be funny and the action never stops. I love the beat of Lindsay’s story style!

it gets better with each book.

series started out with a narrator that was not a good fit, but once Vivienne Leheny took over, it got a whole new life. An assassin is not believable when he sounds like a little girl. 🤔. lindsay Buroker is an excellent author.

I love this series!!!

Lindsay Buroker is an outstanding storyteller. With a profound richness to her character building and world creation, I have loved all of her books. The only negative thing is waiting for the audiobook releases...

Lindsay Buroker's books are the best.

This is part one of Forged in Blood and Book 6 of Lindsay Buroker's Emperor's Edge series. I read the book and loved it so much I had to buy the audio version. Lindsay Buroker never fails-whether she's writing fantasy, science fiction, mysteries, or steampunk. This steampunk series has a great group of characters who display varying degrees of hero qualities in pursuit of honor, statues and the perfect hat. Add non-stop action, snarkiness in spades and a touch of romance rounds out this great addition to the Emperor's Edge series.
