  <default_description>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&amp;hellip;.

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&amp;mdash;if she manages to dodge the traps laid for her.

Only to discover that the healing might turn out to be the simplest of the tasks before her.</default_description>
