Continuation of the series that started with Cast In Shadow. There is a mystery surrounding Kaylin in that she has strange tattoos on her arms and she has unknown power. In this book she is told to study magic by her commander but Kaylin is a stubborn pupil. Meanwhile something is going on in the Barrani court - the Lord of the West Court is dying because someone has his name, and Kaylin gets involved. Really well written like all of Sagara's works. I particularly enjoyed the politics and descriptions of how magic worked from Kaylins point of view. Also Kaylin is considered ignorant of certain customs in that world - and I'm just as clueless as she is, so the reader learns as she does about the Barrani court. Its really fascinating how intricately Michelle Sagara created this world.
