The Assassin's Curse by Lindsay Buroker is a short story set in the world of her Emperor's Edge series.  This story only features Amaranthe and Sicarius out of the team and I missed the other characters a bit myself.  This is a very quick read, but if you are a fan of the series like I am you look forward to everything you can get your hands on.  The story follows a similar theme to the rest of the books with Amaranthe spotting something out of the ordinary and wanting to investigate to hopefully get some positive attention and get her team cleared of all crimes.This story starts with the Sicarius and Amaranthe doing some training in the lake when they spot a lot of smoke in the air.  They find an army transport that has been looted of new experimental weaponry and decide to check a nearby island for the thieves.  Unfortunately that island is supposed to be cursed to help people who are looking to overthrow the empire.As with all of Lindsay's work this is written using her wonderful characters and a great skill with description.  A must have for fans of the series.
