The king is missing. A secret organization is hunting sorcerers. The enemy has powerful new weapons to deploy, and the capital is more vulnerable than it's ever been. Worst of all, at least in Ridge Zirkander's view, someone put that jackass Colonel Therrik in charge of the flier battalion. Ridge, Sardelle, and their comrades have a lot of problems to fix, but they can't show their faces in the capital without being arrested or shot. This time, it's going to take a lot more than magic to save the country. The Blade's Memory is the fifth installment in the Dragon Blood series.
