Steel’s Edge – Ilona Andrews

Charlotte is a healer – probably the best of her generation, which has brought her into the highest circles of nobility in the Weird. She flees that after some terrible heartbreak, and ends up in the Edge. That’s where she meets Richard Mar (brother of Kalder Mar – one of the two main characters in the last Edge book).

Richard is after some slavers that have been preying on the people of the Edge, and when some people very dear to Charlotte are hurt by those slavers, she decides to help him, even though it might mean using her gifts in such a way that may destroy her.

This book goes fairly cloak and dagger – it also features George, Jack and Lark. It’s nice to see them growing up. It’s solid adventure with the typical fun romance I expect from the authors.
