DO NOT MEDDLE IN THE AFFAIRS OF BARRANI

Kaylin has been warned to steer clear of the lords of the Barrani High Court. Shed be more than happy to oblige, but its a bit difficult considering she lives with ten of them, all sent to the green to gain power or die. With Kaylins help, they finally escaped their imprisonment. But their attempts at freedom had devastating consequencesand a price that has yet to be paid.

The first warning sign is the Consorts invitation to visit the High Hallsa Barrani invitation, which means an immediate visit.

The second sign is less subtle: Kaylin finds Nightshades unresponsive body. He hovers on the edge of death, beyond saving through Kaylins healing power. No one can explain his state, nor why shes powerless to save him. And if she and her Barrani friends cant figure out a way to bring him back, hell 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 drawnand Nightshades near assassination is only the beginning. Can Kaylin uncover the nebulous forces that threaten the balance of Barraniand their entire worldbefore its too late?
