Cast in Shadow

Seven years ago Kaylin fled the crime-riddled streets of Nightshade, knowing that something was after her. Children were being murdered&;and all had the same odd markings that mysteriously appeared on her own skin.&;

Since then, she&;s learned to read, she&;s learned to fight, and she&;s become one of the vaunted Hawks who patrol and police the City of Elantra. Alongside the winged Aerians and the immortal Barrani, she&;s made a place for herself, far from the mean streets of her birth.

But children are once again dying, and a dark and familiar pattern is emerging. Kaylin is ordered back into Nightshade with a partner she knows she can&;t trust, a Dragon lord for a companion, and a device to contain her powers&;powers that no other human has. Her task is simple&;find the killer, stop the murders&;and survive the attentions of those who claim to be her allies!

Something is stirring again.&;
