Kaylin has been warned to steer clear of the lords of the Barrani High Court. Sheâd be more than happy to oblige, but itâs a bit difficult considering she lives with ten of them, all sent to the green to gain power or die. With Kaylinâs help, they finally escaped their imprisonment. But their attempts at freedom had devastating consequencesâand a price that has yet to be paid.
The first warning sign is the Consortâs invitation to visit the High Hallsâa Barrani invitation, which means an immediate visit.
The second sign is less subtle: Kaylin finds Nightshadeâs unresponsive body. He hovers on the edge of death, beyond saving through Kaylinâs healing power. No one can explain his state, nor why sheâs powerless to save him. And if she and her Barrani friends canât figure out a way to bring him back, heâll be lost forever.
Yet even as Kaylin struggles to keep Nightshade from death, there is deeper magic at play, a growing threat with the potential to affect the entire Barrani race. Factions are shifting, new lines are being drawnâand Nightshadeâs near assassination is only the beginning. Can Kaylin uncover the nebulous forces that threaten the balance of Barraniâand their entire worldâbefore itâs too late?
