Título: Balanced on the Blade's Edge
Autor: Lindsay Buroker
Sinopse: Colonel Ridge Zirkander isnt the model of military professionalismhe has a tendency to say exactly whats on his mind, and his record has enough demerits to wallpaper the hull of an airshipbut as the best fighter pilot in the Iskandian army, hes used to a little leniency from his superiors. Until he punches the wrong diplomat in the nose and finds himself issued new orders: take command of a remote prison mine in the inhospitable Ice Blades Mountains. Ridge has never been in charge of anything larger than a flier squadronwhats he supposed to do with a frozen fortress full of murderers and rapists? Not to mention the strange woman who shows up right before he arrives Sardelle Terushan wakes from three hundred years in a mage stasis shelter, only to realize that she is the last of the Referatu, the sorcerers who once helped protect Iskandia from conquerors. Their subterranean mountain community was blown up in a treacherous sneak attack by soldiers who feared their power. Everyone Sardelle ever knew is dead, and the sentient soulblade she has been bonded to since her youth is buried in the core of the mountain. Further, what remains of her home has been infested by bloodthirsty miners commanded by the descendants of the very soldiers who destroyed her people. Sardelle needs help to reach her soulbladeher only link to her past and her last friend in the world. Her only hope is to pretend shes one of the prisoners while trying to gain the commanders trust. But lying isnt her specialty, especially when the world has changed so much in the intervening centuries, and if Colonel Zirkander figures out who she truly is, hell be duty-bound to sentence her to the only acceptable punishment for sorcerers: death.
