Poison Study (The Chronicles of Ixia, Book 1) Maria V. Snyder 9781848452398 [USED COPY]

Choose: A quick death or a slow poison

Found guilty of murder, Yelena Zaltana faces the ultimate punishment - execution. Imprisoned deep in the castle's dungeon, she awaits her fate until Valek, the security chief and assassin, offers her a reprieve. For a price.

As the Commander's new food taster, she must risk death, on a daily basis, by the most gruesome poisons. With no other options, she'd be a fool to refuse. And despite the constant danger, the more time she spends with Valek, the closer they grow.

But the new-found attraction between them is heating to a dangerous level, because Yelena is hiding a lethal secret. She's developed magical powers that she can't control. And the penalty for magic is death...
