Publisher's summary

A Chronicles of Ixia Novel featuring behind-the-scenes notes from the author, exclusive to the audio edition

Choose: a quick death…or slow poison…

Locked deep in the palace dungeon for killing her abuser, Yelena knows she’ll never be free again. The laws in Ixia are strict, and murderers must be executed, no matter the reason. But just as she’s resigned herself to her fate, she’s offered an extraordinary reprieve.

As the food taster, Yelena will eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace—and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia. To make matters worse, the chief of security 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 continue to mount. Rebels plot to seize Ixia and Yelena develops magical powers she can’t control. Her life is threatened again, and in order to survive, she must unravel the secrets behind the past she’s been running from.

100% Recommended

I had red the series a couple of years back and just wanted to listen to it as a background while I am working. BUT I have never enjoyed listening to a book as much as this one. The narrator brought life to this story and added more life to the story I remembered! Loved it!

Why remake something that was great

I can't believe they're replacing Gabra Zackman's narration. This is awful for a number of reasons, one of them being that i had already purchased and owned this series and now that it's being remade if I want to listen to it again I have to buy the new narrated version which is not nearly as good as the first. This is a tacky way to make more money. I genuinely love these books but I don't think I'll ever buy another audible book from this author again if this is going to be done to each of her series. if this is your first time listening to the series and like this genre I believe you'll enjoy it but I can't go from Gabra Zackman's narration to this one and enjoy it the same. I'm so disappointed

Wow, an awful remake!

This second version is beyond awful. The first was so good, I just don’t see the point.
