"Steel's Edge" by Lorena Andrews
A thick of 388 pages in paperback from Ace Books copyright 2012
and sold at $7.99. I found this copy at the SFPL-Main.
I have greatly enjoyed the Edge series but this wraps up
the lives of several of the baddies and of course demonstrates
the power of Love to overcome the most horrible of magics.
Richard Mar is from the Edge where magic is less but still
works unlike the Broken which is where we live, poor magicless
mortals. Richard's family has been brutalized by slavers and in
this volume he finds his life's love and destroys with her aid
the Slaver stronghold and the vicious group of noble(?) persons
profiting from the Slave Trade.
She is Charlotte de Ney ai Ran adopted by a member of
the Ran family which is one of the oldest in Adrianalanka
the country full of magic and run by the most powerful magic
Users. She runs to the Edge when her husband finds she is
barren and he must have an heir. She is the Healer of her
generation at least and the Husband is an imbecile(Richard's
opinion.
There is a very great deal of death and violence in this
book which I think may not be good for everyone.

Another good story from the writing team of the Gordons.
