About this ebook
It’s been three months since former enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon and the notorious assassin Sicarius thwarted kidnappers and saved the emperor’s life. The problem? Nobody knows they were responsible for this good deed. Worse, they’re being blamed for the entire scheme. With enforcers and bounty hunters stalking them, and the emperor nursing a personal hatred for Sicarius, it’s going to be hard to earn exoneration.
When Amaranthe’s team discovers mutilated bodies in the city aqueducts and a mysterious illness incapacitates thousands of citizens, she and Sicarius see an opportunity to solve the mystery and prove their loyalty. But they’ll have to defeat vengeful shamans, man-eating predators, and deadly mechanical constructs, all while dodging imperial soldiers who would rather kill them than accept their help.
Nobody said exoneration would be easy.

A page-turning adventure of Amaranthe, Sicarius, and their band of motley misfits trying to clear their name with the empire. A fun read that will be hard not to finish in one sitting!

A story with lots of twists and turns excellent characters I was fascinated all the way through. The author author uses many words I'm unfamiliar with and very glad to have the online dictionary and by the way I have a good command of English well worth the read

This sequel was great, and the relationship that is developing within the group has a real world essence to it. Life is complicated and it tends to muddy friendships and romance. It's not often that relationships are portrayed so realistically in fiction. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book.
