A sharp-tongued warrior uncovers treachery in the halls of Imperial court in this fantasy thriller sequel to Cast in Shadow. In Elantra, a job well done is rewarded with an even more dangerous task. And Kaylin, one of the city's most fearsome patrol Hawks, has just defeated a dark evil in the slums of Nightshade. Now she must enter a new realm of deceit and treachery-a place where silk and jewels hide deadly secrets. . . . Kaylin must go before...

"Kaylin wasn't sent to the West March to start a war. Her mission to bring back nine Barrani might do just that, though. She traveled with a Dragon, and her presence is perceived as an act of aggression in the extremely hostile world of Barrani-Dragon politics. Internal Barrani politics are no less deadly, and Kaylin has managed--barely--to help the rescued Barrani evade both death and captivity at the hands of the Consort. Before the unplanned "visit"...

"Kaylin returned from the West March in one piece. Now that piece is fraying. She's not at home in the Imperial Palace--and she never intends to be. All she wants is normal garden-variety criminals and a place of her own. Of course, normal in her new life involves a dragon as a roommate, but she can handle that. She can't as easily handle the new residents to the city she polices, because one of them is Nightshade's younger brother"--Amazon.com.

Resuming her duties in the aftermath of Elantra's costly victory, a bereaved Kaylin Neya investigaties a triple murder and becomes embroiled in a case involving the deadly Shadows that still threaten the city and an ancient magical power.

But the mean streets she escaped as a child aren't the ones she's vowed to give her life guarding. Those were much darker.... Kaylin's moved on with her life--and is keeping silent about the shameful things she's done to stay alive. But when the city's oracles warn...

"When a minority race of telepaths suspected of causing a near-devastating tidal wave, Private Kaylin Neya is summoned to court and into a PR nightmare. To ease racial tenisions the emperor has commissioned a play, and the playwright has his own ideas who should be the focus"--P. [4] of cover.
