The Court of Broken Knives

The Yellow Empire cannot be invaded. Or, that's what the people living there believe. All of them except for Orhan. He can't shake the feeling that they are vulnerable to attack. Everyone has grown complacent. Orhan believes that the only way things will change and get better is by getting rid of the Emperor and all of his cronies. So, he hires a company of men to cross the desert and wipe them all out. They come highly recommended, but one man stands out. Marith. He is not just a soldier, he is so much more. I LOVED this book! The plot and the characters just sucked me right in from the start. One minute I felt bad for Marith, the next minute I thought he was a bastard, and back and forth it went. I'm still not sure. I highly recommend this book to everyone!
