The Chronicles of Elantra (Michelle Sagara West) Books in Order

Before she became a Hawk, Kaylin Neya was a teenage thief, fugitive, and would-be assassin. Used as bait in a child exploitation sting, she gets her first brutal look at Elantra's law.

Kaylin escaped Nightshade years ago and became a Hawk, but children are dying again in the same grim pattern. To stop the killer, she must return to the streets she barely survived.

After one dangerous success, Kaylin is sent into the Barrani High Court, where one wrong word can kill. Healing the High Lord's heir is only the first trap waiting for her there.

What should have been a simple theft case leads Kaylin to an ancient sealed box from Elani Street. Dark magic, hidden history, and dangerous curiosity quickly turn a small job into a deadly one.

When telepaths are blamed for a near-disastrous tidal wave, Kaylin is dragged into court politics and a public-relations mess. A stage production, racial tension, and murder make things even worse.

Kaylin has built a new life as a Hawk, but the darkest streets of her childhood are not done with her. Oracles, suspicion, and a figure from her past force her to face what she survived.

Elani Street erupts, the Oracles panic, and blood begins to fall from the sky. As Elantra's powerful turn their attention to the marks on Kaylin's skin, she may be the key to what is coming.

Seven identical corpses appear in a Dragon's fief, and Kaylin is ordered to find out who they were and why they died. The case points toward something ugly gathering at Elantra's edges.

Kaylin's strange egg starts hatching just in time to absorb a bomb meant for her rooms. Then disappearances in Tiamaris tie her even more tightly to the Barrani and the dangerous road ahead.

In the West March, Kaylin is supposed to serve as a harmoniste, helping tell the truth behind a Barrani recitation. In a land where words cut deeper than weapons, that assignment can kill.

Back from the West March, Kaylin wants ordinary cases and a little peace. Instead she is pulled into dragon trouble and palace tensions that make ordinary life impossible again.

Elantra has survived a brutal attack, but the city is scarred and the Hawks have paid heavily for that victory. With Shadows still lingering, Kaylin helps hold together a city that is not fully safe.

Kaylin's household gets even stranger when injured Aerian Sergeant Moran dar Carafel moves in. A simple outing turns into another tangled case, and Elantra once again refuses to stay simple.

Annarion decides to face the Barrani Test of Name, and Kaylin's crowded home becomes the staging ground for it. Friendship, old enmities, and Helen's unsettling house magic all collide.

Kaylin's mission to return nine Barrani from the West March could ignite a war. Barrani and dragon politics are already volatile, and her presence only makes the balance more dangerous.

At the heart of Elantra, the sentient Towers guard the world against Shadow, but something in the gray border zone is waking. Kaylin is pulled into a problem older than the city's streets.

With dragons and Barrani under one roof, Kaylin's home life is already a political problem. As old wars and new pressures unsettle Elantra, she has to keep allies close and crisis closer.

Front desk duty sounds dull until a persistent old woman arrives with messages from ghosts. When those spirits take an interest in Severn Handred, Kaylin finds herself chasing trouble into the dead.

Bellusdeo is haunted by the chained ghosts of her dead sisters, and only Kaylin and Mrs. Erickson may be able to help. Their search for release leads into forbidden magic and older darkness.

Kaylin is summoned into Barrani trouble when Nightshade is found near death and beyond her healing power. As factions shift, a deeper threat to the entire Barrani race begins to surface.
