For ten years, I’ve been using a magical sword that I won in battle to ruthlessly slay enemies, break evil artifacts, and open stubborn pickle jars, but I don’t know much about it.

That’s about to change.

Thanks to the fact that I’m dating a powerful dragon, I can get a ride to the dwarven home world, and we’re going to research the sword's roots. Not that I care much about its history, mind you, but several allies and enemies have suggested it can do a lot more than whack things. Considering the magical bad guys I fight are always stronger, faster, and more powerful than I am, I need every advantage I can get.

There’s just one problem: a half-dwarf thief has shown up and says she’s the rightful heir to the sword.

I want to believe it’s a scam and can’t possibly be true, but I didn’t get the sword in the most legitimate manner. If I have to give it up, I might not be able to do my job anymore, and just as bad, I’ll be a target for all the bad guys who have been waiting for an opportunity to take me down.

Secrets of the Sword II is book eight in the Death Before Dragons series by Lindsay Buroker.

I continue to enjoy this world, the characters, and adventures we get to go on with Val.

Val is still looking for information about her sword and is planning to visit the dwarves home world. But, plans get a little side tracked when a half-dwarf thief claiming to be the rightful owner of her sword causes trouble. We’ve also got a police officer that thinks Val’s friend and roommate Dimitri murdered someone with his door knockers. And, Val and Zav are planning their wedding. A lot is going on that keeps you entertained and engaged.

Val goes up agents a formidable enemy. This time there are a lot of undead creatures, twists, surprises, and great fight scenes. I enjoyed the storyline and plot. It’s another solid read.

Rated: 4 Stars
