Book description
The Blade's Memory: Dragon Blood, Book 5
Lindsay Buroker delivers another pulse-pounding adventure that throws readers straight into chaos. Ridge and Sardelle's homecoming isn't exactly warm-they're public enemy number one with a missing king, sorcerer hunters on the loose, and an enemy fleet breathing down their necks.
What makes this installment compelling isn't just the escalating stakes, but how Buroker handles the aftermath. These aren't heroes returning to ticker-tape parades. They're fugitives, forced to operate from the shadows while everything they fought to protect crumbles around them. The irony isn't lost that saving their country means becoming outlaws.
Ridge's frustration with Colonel Therrik's promotion adds delicious tension to an already volatile situation. It's these personal conflicts, layered atop political intrigue and magical warfare, that keep the narrative crackling with energy.
The audiobook format really shines here. Buroker's sharp dialogue pops off the page, and the narrator captures Ridge's sardonic wit perfectly. When your protagonists can't walk into their own capital without risking arrest or worse, you know the author has crafted something genuinely unpredictable.
This fifth entry proves the series hasn't lost any steam. Magic alone won't solve these problems-something far more dangerous and creative is required. The Blade's Memory earns its place as essential listening for fantasy fans who like their heroes flawed, their magic systems grounded, and their political machinations genuinely surprising.
