Publisher Description
The latest novel from New York Times bestselling author Michelle Sagara's fantasy book series, The Chronicles of Elantra!
“[An] elaborate, magic-filled tale…. A treat.”
—Publishers Weekly on Shards of Glass
In the City of Elantra, only one holds the key to peace—or eternal darkness.
At the end of three long wars, Bellusdeo is the last of her kind, the sole surviving female Dragon in the City of Elantra. When she appears one evening on the doorstep of her former roommate, Corporal Kaylin Neya, her demeanor is dreadful—more so than what’s expected of the Dragons’ notoriously tempestuous temperament. Kaylin’s new roommate, Mrs. Erickson, is quick to see the reason for Bellusdeo’s despair—the eight ghosts of the Dragon’s dead sisters, chained to her and unseen. Pleading for release, revenge and, above all, peace.
Now Kaylin and Mrs. Erickson must embark on a perilous journey, from the hallowed halls of the Academia to the depths of forbidden magic, to confront the very essence of mortality itself. Can Kaylin help release the untapped power within Mrs. Erickson to save Bellusdeo’s sisters…or will unlocking the past plunge the realm into an unfathomable darkness forever?

Customer Reviews
Good, felt like a checklist
I enjoyed the read though to me there was a sort of checklist feel to the flow. Did we visit the hawks, check, did her sgt get upset and ruin desk, check, did the cohort act up, check, did everyone tell her how frustrated they were with her, check, did her chosen powers bewilder her and save the day check, did she lament her low pay, check and so forth. Not saying I did not like it I did but like I said this checklist really did not add to the story. I would like to see a bit more depth in her character, perhaps a romantic interest or revealing more of the lore and reasons behind some events. Given all that has happened perhaps she should be educating herself and thus the readers. I suggest you read the book prior to this one as essentially the same story and this one has no intro it just picks up the previous story on page one.
