Kaylin Neya wishes her mysterious magical abilities and Elantra's imperial mages would let her alone to do her job. When something old and powerful begins stirring in Ravellon, the heart of the fiefs, Kaylin is sent to investigate, a journey that will force her to confront unpleasant memories as well as the deadly secrets that threaten Ravellon and all of Elantra. Kaylin—“whose middle name was not exactly patience”—must rein in her temper and stay alive long enough to complete her mission. Fans will enjoy following her exploration of the fiefs and Elantra's history. (Aug.)
