Kaylin’s never been known for her grace or manners, but the High Lord’s heir is suspiciously ill, and Kaylin’s healing magic is the only shot at saving him—if she can dodge the traps laid for her.…

Remember how much I enjoyed the first book in the Chronicles of Elantra series? Well, I liked the second book even more.

Political intrigue steps up in Cast in Courtlight and what’s better, it’s Barrani politics. That may not mean a lot if you haven’t read the first book, but trust me, once you do you’ll understand.
