An elite forces officer with a dreadful reputation.
A bookish paleontologist with a love for mysteries.
An ancient stronghold full of secrets that will take both of them to unearth.
Professor Lilah Zirkander (yes, she’s related to the famous pilot, and no, she can’t get him to autograph your undergarments) is looking forward to a summer in the paleontology lab, researching and cataloging new fossils. But that summer takes an unexpected turn when the king sends her into the Ice Blades to a secret mine where ancient dragon bones have been discovered. Rumor has it that they’re cursed and dangerous, but Lilah is more concerned about dealing with the outpost commander, a fierce officer with the temperament of a crabby badger.
As punishment for irking the king, Colonel Vann Therrik is overseeing the hardened criminals working in the remote Magroth Crystal Mines. He would like a chance to redeem himself—and escape the loathsome duty station—but nothing is going his way. Cursed fossils have delayed production, miners are trying to escape, and now a scientist has shown up, making demands on his time. Worse, she’s the cousin of his nemesis General Zirkander. As if one Zirkander in his world wasn’t bad enough.
Investigating the fossils leads Lilah and Vann into the depths of Magroth Mountain where centuries-old secrets lurk, and a long-forgotten threat stalks the passages. To have any chance at survival, they’ll have to work together and perhaps learn that neither is what the other expected.
Shattered Past is a stand-alone novel set in the author’s Dragon Blood world.

I love this author’s work
By S Campbell
I was lucky enough to receive a review copy of this directly from the author in exchange for an honest review, so thanks Lindsay.
I love this author’s work , especially her fantasy stuff and this was no exception. Let me start by saying that I received an advance copy (prior to it being proofed) yet the story was so fun and action packed that I DID NOT NOTICE any typos. I was swept along with Lilah, Therrick and the ever delightful Kaika on their dragon fossil hunting adventures. The pacing was good with lots of action (but not too much action) entertaining & likable characters and fun dialogue.
This story is set in the Dragonblood series world and while the story is a standalone I would highly recommend you read the DB series first for a more fulfilling experience (actually I recommend you read it regardless ) as the background on the politcal situation and worldbuilding will just increase your enjoyment of this one. Also there are many characters from that series which appear in this book, indeed our grumpy hero is minor character in DB, and I just don’t know if you will fully appreciate how delightful these characters - dragon Bhrava Saruth(who I LOVE), Kaika, Sardelle, Ridge & Jaxi - are if you haven’t spent as much time with them as possible.
I liked our academic and and adventurous heroine Lilah and I really enjoyed getting to know our hero Therrick, because while he had certainly grown on me a little in DB but was not a favourite. However Lindsay did a great job of taking a less sympahtetic character and making me love him. His childhood, his background and his prior experience with witches meant he had reasons for his behaviour and attitudes – good ones. And his more recent experiences and Lilah helped soften him enough (but not too much) so that you can see reall growth. Although they are very different characters Therrick reminded me a little of Sicarius from Lindsay’s Emperor’s Edge series (What you haven’t read it? Go do so now – it is my fav of this author’s work). Kaika was as entertgaining as always

Made the character I liked least into one of the most interesting
By T. M. Adair
The story's hero is full of gruff edges -- and worse -- and gets to put them all to good use in this novel set in the Dragon Blood world. Many well-known characters from the earlier novels make appearances, but it isn't necessary to read the earlier books to enjoy this one. However, if you have red the earlier stories and already developed a distaste for Therrick, you'll be tickled to watch that perception unravel!

Another side project on the Dragon Blood Gang Clan of misfits.
By styler
Nothing makes me quite as happy as seeing a new Buroker book come out, and especially one that features one of the Dragon Blood clan.
This book is special, because it's about Colonel Therrik, who is my guilty pleasure. I've always loved it whenever Therrik shows up, irritated once again with Ridge, becoming unglued by Ridge's flippant and irreverent personality, and speechless (or, actually not so speechless usually) with horror at the love that every other person on the planet seems to have for him and the awe in which he is held.
So, it's kind of a poetic justice when Ridge's cousin is assigned by Angelus to investigate some dragon fossils unearthed by the Magroth Prison gang in their unending search for more power crystals. Lilah Zirkander is a dorky academic widow, a paleontologist with bad jokes and a love of adventure novels she shares with her students. She is also as irritated with Ridge as Therrik is, for similar reasons as he is. Zirkander has outshown her in her quest to be famous for her accomplishments in her field, and she is as tired of her students asking her to get his autograph for them as Therrik is of Zirkander showing him up on the field of honor.
Therrik, as annoying as he is, is also a man of honor, and has worked his whole adult life to overcome the terrible childhood he lived through, which included his father murdering his mother while she tried to protect the young Therrik from being attacked. We get to learn just how bad his life was. Despite being from a noble family, he ends up on the streets after the murder, becomes a thug and a criminal, and eventually is given the choice of going to prison or joining the military. Joining the military gave him the opportunity to become the man he should have been, though with the personality of a bipolar rattlesnake.
There are some classic Buroker scenes in this book. One of my favorites is the moment he discovers that Lilah shares his dislike of Ridge. It's the first time Lilah has seen his smile, and his smile is off the charts. She is floored by how handsome he is. He is also captivated when she demonstrates her knowledge of his weapons collection, the eras the weapons are from, and gives him little details that even he didn't know. She hates teaching as much as he does. The list goes on, and he is smitten immediately.
The rest of the book follows what is not exactly a Buroker formula, but is the heartstopping action she is famous for. No one in the world writes action scenes like she does. I can't imagine where she dreams these things up, but they are always over the top, and edge of the seat thrilling. Whenever I get my hands on one of her new books, I always wait until I have the time to sit and do nothing else but read it straight through, because I will die of impatience if I have to put the book down for some mundane reason like working for a living.
This book is, of course, 5 Stars. Buroker can't write anything less. She is one of my favorite authors, and I will always buy her books without even reading the synopses, or the reviews. They are always wonderful. Whether she is writing as Lindsey Buroker or Ruby Lionsdrake, she's the best. I have devoted an entire Kindle (I have 9 of the things) solely to her. No wasted time searching around in categories looking for her stuff.
Buy this book. If you love the Dragon Blood folks, you'll love this look at one of the characters who has made Ridge's life Hell, on occasion. It's a pleasure to see him so discomfited by the fact that his cousin has fallen in love with his mortal enemy. It's just a pleasure. My only regret is that Deathmaker doesn't show up at any point. Then, the book would have been completely perfect. I love Ridge and Sardelle, but my favorite characters are the flawed ones. The misfits. Buroker writes those people like no one's business. I hope she isn't done with this group. I'm certainly not finished with them.
