Publisher's summary

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.

Crossing Swords

Lindsay Buroker’s Secrets of the Sword I was another great read in the Death Before Dragons series. Plenty of action, humor, and beef ribs. The character interaction was what you hoped for from the entertaining series. DRmz 05-02-23

Nice Continuous

This is the second time I've gone thru this book. I appreciated it more with the Audible addition.
It's great that Lindsay Buroker continued Val and Zav's story. I
really wanted a closure on their tale.

an amazing author

This has to be one of the most creative authors I have ever read or listened to. her ingenious creation of storyline mixed with romance mixed with humor is almost unheard of It's a constant movement of your emotions as you listened or read these luscious yummy stories I cannot get enough I needed to go by a set of earbuds because I never had any until I started listening to her books on audio and I could not put it down and I couldn't stop what I was doing so I had to get earbuds so I could listen to her as I worked I will never stop listening to her books She is just an absolute amazing author! The narrator was absolutely incredible and perfect for Lindsay's characters

love this saga!

This series continues to get better and better. Character development is slow and steady but heads in different Directions than expected.

This Series by Lindsay is just plain fun

As is usual of Lindsay's work her writing is tight, irreverent, a tad ribald and just plain FUN. I most assuredly give this two thumbs up!

Excellent writing.

Just like the previous series of Lindsay Buroker's "Death Before Dragons" this book is instep and picks up within days of the last book.
"Secrets of the Sword" is a roller coaster ride of events. Never a dull moment! You will love it!
