In the war-scarred empire of Virandor, twenty-year-old royal taster Liora Bresk has spent her life absorbing poison so the throne never has to fear it — but with the coronation feast only three days away, she learns that the next dose meant for the crown is meant for her alone. When she unearths the truth behind her mother's death eight years ago, Liora must decide whether swallowing one more secret will save the empire, or finally shatter it.
