Cast in Wisdom Blog Tour

Hello, all!

Not surprising to anyone, but I'm a huge fantasy reader. It's one of my favorite genres to read, and I love getting lost in all the different worlds. That's why I'm excited to be a part of the blog tour for Cast in Wisdom by Michelle Sagara. For my part, I'll be giving you all a little sneak peak exclusive excerpt. Big thanks to Mira Books for having me!

This is actually part of the Chronicles of Elantra series, which has everything from ancient cities to buried secrets to dragon companions. This latest installment deals with a villainous Shadow power that's escaped and the desperate race to stop it before the whole of Elantra is devoured. Hope you enjoy!


“You are such a coward,” Bellusdeo said when they’d reached the relative safety of the street. The roads in and around Helen were sparsely populated at the busiest of times, which this wasn’t. They would soon join roads that were crowded at the slowest of times, but Kaylin was dressed for the office. The Hawk emblazoned on her tabard encouraged people to make space. 

Had Bellusdeo hit the streets in her Draconic form, she’d have cleared far more of it—but some of that space would be created by panic, and panic could cause both accidents and the type of traffic congestion that caused the Swords to investigate. Also, it was illegal. 
“It’s not cowardice,” Kaylin replied, scanning the windows of the buildings above ground level. 
“What would you call it?” 
“Wisdom.” 
“Oh, please.”
“There’s no point in arguing with them now. Sedarias thinks it’ll be months before this ridiculous command performance occurs. We have months to attempt to talk her out of—” 
“Out of expressing any appreciation or gratitude?” 
Ugh. “You know they’re grateful. This isn’t about gratitude. It’s about rubbing that gratitude in the faces of the Barrani who attempted to brand you a—an army. An attacking army.” 
“I believe the term you want is Flight.” Bellusdeo’s eyes were orange. 
Hope squawked at the Dragon. Kaylin didn’t understand what he was saying. Bellusdeo did, but her eyes didn’t get any lighter. 
“You know as well as I do,” Kaylin said, emboldened by Hope’s entry into the discussion, “that this is not the time to visit the High Halls. I’m not sure the Emperor has ever been a guest there.” 
“We visited the Halls—more or less—when they came under attack, and the Barrani needed our help.” 
“From the outside. No one invited the Dragon Court in.” 
The chorus of Barrani voices that sometimes offered entirely unasked for opinions on the inside of her head maintained their silence for half a beat. The first person to break that silence was the fieflord. His words were tinged with amusement. 
You cannot expect that the cohort would suddenly cease to cause any difficulty, surely? 
I’m almost certain that the cohort understands why inviting a Dragon—any Dragon—to attend the High Halls would be a disaster. 
For the Dragons? 
For everyone. "
