After helping my steady dragon Zav with his family problems, I thought life would get back to normal. As normal as it can be when you’re a hit woman responsible for hunting down bad guys.
That was before a strange artifact showed up in a bog and turned my ancient dwarven sword into a magical beacon. Now my enemies can sense it from hundreds of miles away. More than that, every club-toting, over-muscled orc, ogre, and troll who would like a magic sword can sense it.
Usually, fighting off opportunists wouldn’t be a problem (they don’t call me Ruin Bringer without reason), but even I can only handle so many attacks at a time. And Zav isn’t as much help as you’d think, since he’s busy on a quest for a ring.
No, it’s not a Lord of the Rings kind of quest. My boss put it in Zav's head that since we’re mated in the dragon way, we should also be married in the human way. Now, he’s off to find the perfect engagement ring. Given his taste in human footwear, I may be in trouble for more reasons than my marked sword.
Not only is there no chance of my life getting back to normal any time soon, but if I can’t figure out how to fix my sword, I’ll be dead long before I can get married.
Also in this series: Sinister Magic, Battle Bond, Tangled Truths, Elven Doom, The Forbidden Ground, False Security
Secrets of the Sword I is book seven in the Death Before Dragons series by Lindsay Buroker
It’s another thrilling read in the series that takes us on a journey with Val to learn about her sword. I really enjoyed this new plot. It’s engaging and kept my attention.
Things are settled with the dragons, but Val has a new problem. Her sword is giving off a beacon to all who can feel it. The plot brings us new situations, powers and secrets on Val’s sword plus interactions with the Fae we haven’t seen in previous installments.
Val and Zav’s relationship is solid. They work together as a team and they have great banter. Zav shows his dedication to Val and helps her out with her problems.
The familiar side characters are present. We see Val spending more time with her daughter Amber and we get more of Nin and Dimitri who are friends of Val.
We’re treated too lots of laugh, action, adventure, fun characters, and more. I enjoy returning to this world and look forward to seeing what’s next.
Rated: 4 Stars
