by Maria V Snyder

About to be executed for murder, Yelena is offered an extraordinary reprieve. She'll eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace- and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia.

And so Yelena chooses to become a food taster. But the chief of security, leaving nothing to chance, deliberately feeds her Butterfly's Dust and only by appearing for her daily antidote will she delay an agonizing death from the poison.

As Yelena tries to escape her new dilemma, disasters keep mounting. Rebels plot to seize Ixia and Yelena develops magical powers she can't control. Her life is threatened again and choices must be made. But this time the outcomes aren't so clear--.

What an amazing YA read! I really loved this. Yelena is such a strong woman... her story was fantastic. I don’t have much to say in words which is interesting to me... its just a wonderful feeling of satisfaction. I did admire the bravery, loyalty, & loved the kinships. I just loved it. :-)

Worth a read 100%!
