Summary

The last thing Maldynado Montichelu - former aristocrat and current ladies' man - ever wanted was to be left in charge. After all, the team just blew up a train, crashed a dirigible, and kidnapped the emperor. It's kind of an important time. But, with Amaranthe captured by the nefarious Forge coalition, and Sicarius off to find her, the team is lacking in leaders. Also, Sicarius has made it clear that Maldynado's life may be forfeit should anything happen to the emperor while he's gone. To make matters worse, Forge's cutthroats are after Sespian, and the young emperor believes Maldynado's loyalties are suspect. As if it's his fault that his older brother is working with the coalition to usurp the throne.

If Maldynado can't figure out how to earn the emperor's trust quickly, Sespian will go off to confront their powerful enemies on his own. Meanwhile, Amaranthe must find a way to escape from the coalition's newest ally, Master Interrogator Pike, a man who plans to pull all of the secrets from her head, one way or another.

Cannot wait for the rest of the series Lindsay Buroker always produces books with interest all the way through and even though I have all the kindle books I like to listen to them while I work etc. so hurry up and bring them audible.

Great storyline well told

Amaranthe has been captured by Master Interrogator/Torturer, Pike, and her secrets will betray the one she loves. Sicarius has tried to follow the Behemoth to free her whilst the rest of the crew go with Sespian to try and keep him safe on his mission.

When he finds her, Amaranthe has wounds all over her body and is running (or maybe I should say hobbling) around naked! Once Pike has been attended to, Sicarius and her make their way up to Maldynado's family estate where a meeting of the founders of Forge is rumoured to be taking place.

I would like to have followed on with Forged in Blood I, but as this book ends on a cliff hanger and there is no Forged in Blood II on the cards at Audible at the moment (even though the whole series is available on Kindle), I will not delve into this book until Audible catches up with this series.
