This perfect mix of magic and romance creates an enchanting fantasy/romance novel that is a captivating read. The characters and plot are charismatic and well developed. Set in the fantasy realm of Ixia, the story follows Yelena, a criminal who escapes execution to become a poison taster. Follow her through the story, as she must come to terms with her past and her growing attraction for an assassin, Valek, (also her employer), and as she brings her growing bursts of magic under control.
