Choose: a quick death… or slow poison… Locked deep in the castle's dungeon, 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 to her fate, she’s offered an extraordinary reprieve – to be the food taster for the Commander of Ixia. As the food taster, Yelena will eat the best meals, have a room in the castle, and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander. To make matters worse Valek, the chief of security, deliberately feeds her Butterfly’s Dust – a deadly poison. Only by appearing for her daily antidote can she prevent an agonising death. 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 under threat again, and in order to survive, she must unravel the secrets behind the past she’s been running from.
