Chronicles of Elantra

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...

"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.

When the charlatans on Elani Street suddenly grow powerful, Kaylin Neya, charged with keeping Elantra safe, is at the mercy of the powerful citizens of the city who believe that the mysterious markings on Kaylin's skin hold the answer.

It has been a busy few weeks for Private Kaylin Neva. In between angling for a promotion, sharing her room with the last living female Dragon and dealing with more refugees than anyone knew what to do with, the unusual egg she'd been given began to hatch. Actually, that turned out to be lucky, because it absorbed the energy from the bomb that went off in her quarters....

"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.

"Private Kaylin Neya already has Dragons and Barrani as roommates. Adding one injured, flightless Aerian to her household should be trivial. Sure, the Aerian is Sergeant Moran dar Carafel, but Kaylin's own sergeant is a Leontine, the definition of growly and fanged. She can handle one Aerian. But when a walk to the Halls of Law becomes a street-shattering magical assassination attempt on the sergeant, Kaylin discovers that it's not the guest who's...

"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"...

WHO WILL CLAIM THE TOWER? After the near-destruction of the High Halls, Corporal Kaylin Neya is looking forward to resuming her patrol. But once more an empty Tower stands in Elantra, and Kaylin’s companions won’t let an advantage slip by. They see the Tower as a base to fight Shadow. The Dragon Bellusdeo as a protection for the cohort; Sedarias as a potential hoard. And others are interested as well. Kaylin knows when she’s in over her head....
