Although the next book in Lindsay Buroker's series The Emperor's Edge will not be out until sometime this spring she has a little treat for her fans. A short story The Assassin's Curse is now available to help us make it to spring.
The story features the two main characters in The Emperor's Edge books, Amaranthe and Sicarius. While training on an inlet they hear an explosion and discover an army steam tramper has been destroyed. When they see a male and female leaving the area in a boat carrying part of the tramper they follow. The couple flees to Darkcrest Isle, rumored to be haunted. Some amazing things happen on the island and we learn more about Sicarius in the process.
Although this story is short it is also packed with adventure and chilling moments. Lindsay mentions on her website that it was written over Halloween. The haunting spirit of that time of year shines through. If you love The Emperor's Edge books this is a must read. If you have not gotten around to trying them this story will stand alone; it would be a good introduction.
The price and availability make it too easy to skip. For under a dollar you can download it from Smashwords, Barnes & Noble or Amazon. If you would like to read more about Lindsay's other work check out her website.
Don't miss this great story!
