Former poison taster Yelena has become a vital part of the balance of power between rival countries Ixia and Sitia. Now she uses her magic to keep the peace in both lands -- and protect her relationship with Valek. But when her magic is suddenly blocked, she must keep that a secret -- or her enemies will discover just how vulnerable she really is -- while searching for who or what is responsible for neutralizing her powers.
First and foremost, I would like to thank Ms. Snyder for listening to her fans. And continuing on with this series. It's really a fantastic series. The characters are great, the world still awesome as ever. The nearest additions and the mystery and intrigue that you sit there and try to figure out throughout this book definitely keeps you on your toes. The ending, oh my wow what a cliffhanger, which means more books in the series, yay!
