"Steel's Edge (The Edge, Book 4)" by Ilona Andrews
https://www.amazon.com/Steels-Edge-Book-4/dp/1937007820/
Book number four of a four book paranormal romance dark fantasy series.
I read the well printed and well bound MMPB published by Ace in 2012
that I bought new on Amazon in 2024. Note that rCLIlona AndrewsrCY is the pseudonym for a husband and wife writing team. Unfortunately, I think
that the series is complete now. BTW, this series is related to the
author's Innkeeper Chronicles series and the Breach Wars series.
"The Edge lies between worlds, on the border between the Broken, where
people shop at Wal-Mart and magic is a fairy talerCoand the Weird, where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your
magic can change your destiny..."
"Charlotte de Ney is as noble as they come, a blueblood straight out of
the Weird. But even though she possesses rare magical healing
abilities, her life has brought her nothing but pain. After her
marriage crumbles, she flees to the Edge to build a new home for
herself. Until Richard Mar is brought to her for treatment, and
CharlotterCOs life is turned upside down once again."
"Richard Mar is a swordsman without peer, future head of his large and rambunctious Edger clanrCoand herCOs on a clandestine quest to wipe out slavers trafficking humans in the Weird. So when his presence leads his
very dangerous enemies to Charlotte, she vows to help Richard destroy
them. The slaversrCO operation, however, goes deeper than Richard knows,
and even working together, Charlotte and Richard may not survive..."
The book concludes the four book series in an awesome manner as Richard
and Charlotte fight the slavers, even to the top of the Adrianglian
royalty. I must admit that I like books even better when they are
fighting a righteous cause.
