Sinclair, Alison -- Darkborn

This is another divided-city book. The Darkborn catch fire if they touch sunlight (or equivalently bright magical light); the Lightborn melt if they leave it. Our hero is a Darkborn physician. His flatmate (across the opaque wall) is a Lightborn court agent. One evening a woman shows up, pregnant with twins who turn out -- perhaps -- to be of neither race... Politics, magic, assassinations, and all manner of entertainments promptly arise. The plot is breakneck and alternates between several characters, all of whom I enjoyed.
