It has been a busy few weeks for Private Kaylin Neva. In between angling for a promotion, sharing her room with the last living female Dragon and dealing with more refugees than anyone knew what to do with, the unusual egg she'd been given was ready to hatch. Actually, that turned out to be lucky, because it absorbed the energy from the bomb that went off in her quarters.... So now might be the perfect time to leave Elantra and journey to the West March with the Barrani. If not for the disappearances of citizens in the fief of Tiamaris--disappearances traced to the very Barrani Kaylin will be traveling with...]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2012 07:56:37 +0300 https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52167-for_the_love_of_god.html https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52167-for_the_love_of_god.html
A young Henry. A young Thomas of London. One, by politics, determination, and birth, the King, and one, a commoner, and outsider at Court. We know how their friendship played out, in the end: with the murder of Thomas Beket. But where would the friendship have ended had the murder not occurred, had there been no death in the cathedral? This is one possibility, an alternate history.]]> Tue, 25 Oct 2011 07:56:37 +0300 https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52178-children_of_the_blood.html https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52178-children_of_the_blood.html
Continuing the struggle she began in Into the Dark Lands, Erin—newly dubbed Sara—is forcefully put to sleep for 300 years while her Lord finishes overtaking his enemies—and Sara's kinsmen. After conquering and slaughtering the last of the Bright Heart lines, he awakens an amnesia-ridden Sara and assigns one of his slaves, a fellow "child of the blood," to comfort her. As Sara's memory slowly returns and her rage intensifies, the Servants of the Dark Heart and the Dark Heart itself become increasingly dangerous to both her and her caretaker.]]> Sun, 25 Oct 1992 07:56:39 +0200 https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52168-cast_in_courtlight.html https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52168-cast_in_courtlight.html
No good deed goes unpunished… In Elantra, a job well done is rewarded with a more dangerous task. And so, after defeating a dark evil, Kaylin must enter a place of deceit and treachery. A world where silk and jewels hide deadly secrets… Kaylin goes before the Barrani High Court, where a misspoken word brings sure death. And 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 manages to dodge the traps laid for her. Only to discover that the healing might turn out to be the simplest of tasks before her…]]> Wed, 25 Oct 2006 07:56:37 +0300 https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52184-cast_in_ruin.html https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52184-cast_in_ruin.html
Seven corpses are discovered in the streets of a Dragon's fief. All identical, down to their clothing. Kaylin Neya is assigned to discover who they were, who killed them—and why. Is the evil lurking at the borders of Elantra preparing to cross over? At least the investigation delays her meeting with the Dragon Emperor. And as the shadows grow longer over the fiefs, Kaylin must use every skill she's ever learned to save the people she's sworn to protect. Sword in hand, dragons in the sky, this time there's no retreat and no surrender…]]> Tue, 25 Oct 2011 07:56:39 +0300 https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52166-cast_in_deception.html https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52166-cast_in_deception.html
WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE, WHO NEEDS ENEMIES? Private Kaylin Neya thought her home couldn’t possibly get more crowded. But when one of her housemates, Annarion, decides to undertake the Barrani Test of Name, his friends refuse to let him face his task alone—and Kaylin’s sentient home, Helen, is the only structure capable of shielding the rest of Elantra from the magnitude of their power. Annarion and Mandoran almost caused the destruction of the High Halls once already. Add nine of their closest friends, and the danger is astronomically higher—especially since these guests are at the heart of a political firestorm. Imprisoned almost a millennium ago, their recent freedom threatens the rulership of several prominent Barrani families, and the machinations of those Lords make it almost impossible to tell friend from foe. As political tensions ramp up, the shadows beneath the High Halls are seeking a freedom that has never been possible before. Kaylin must find a way to keep those shadows from escaping, or that freedom will destroy her city, the empire and everything she holds dear.]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2018 07:56:37 +0300 https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52174-gifted.html https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52174-gifted.html
A short story of 5k words. The last of the Genies has lived for longer than he can remember, hiding from humanity to preserve his life; the third wish is always death to his kind. Drawn to human cities and human dreams because they burn so brightly, he watches, making no friends and interacting so briefly with people they barely remember him when they pass by. But one night, after millennia of care, he thoughtlessly grants the wish of an old woman...]]> Tue, 25 Oct 2011 07:56:38 +0300 https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52163-cast_in_fury.html https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52163-cast_in_fury.html
When a minority race of telepaths is suspected of causing a near-devastating tidal wave, Private Kaylin Neya is summoned to Court—and into a PR nightmare. To ease racial tensions, the emperor has commissioned a play, and the playwright has his own ideas about who should be the focus.… But Kaylin works her best magic behind the scenes, and though she tries to stay neutral, she is again drawn into a world of politics—and murder. To make matters worse, Marcus, her trusted sergeant, gets stripped of his command, leaving Kaylin vulnerable. Now she's juggling two troubling cases, and even magic's looking good by comparison. But then nobody ever said life in the theater was easy.…]]> Sat, 25 Oct 2008 07:56:37 +0300 https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52164-lady_of_mercy.html https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52164-lady_of_mercy.html

In the aftermath of a vicious battle between darkness and light, the city of Elantra has emerged victorious. But Shadows continue to haunt every corner of its streets... Elantra stands strong, but countless numbers of Hawks, the city's staunchest protectors, were lost in the brutal attack. Humans, Barrani, Aerians, Leontines—none of the races emerged unscathed from the defense of the city. Homes were lost, families were scattered…and the outcast Barrani Lord Nightshade is missing from his castle in the fiefs. Yet as the chaos surrounding the battle begins to wane, Private Kaylin Neya's duties must resume, despite her grief. Called in to investigate a triple murder in a quiet part of town, Kaylin and her companions are soon embroiled in a case that is anything but routine. Evidence of the deadly Shadows that still threaten the city leads to hints of ancient, forgotten magics.

But it is there that Lord Nightshade will be found—if he still survives.]]> Sun, 25 Oct 2015 07:56:39 +0200 https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52181-cast_in_sorrow.html https://language.library.land/michelle-sagara/52181-cast_in_sorrow.html

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.
