To save her own life, she must return to her family in Sitia even if it means leaving everything and everybody she knows, including her lover Valek. Though Yelena Zaltana was freed from her job as food taster to the Ixian leader, a warrant was issued for her death. Sitia is steeped in magic and its leaders fear the Commander might take it into his head to conquer them as well. His rule overthrew the corrupt royal family that had led the country, and that coup made the neighboring country of Sitia very uneasy. Ixia is ruled by the Commander who allows no magician to live. Snyder’s imagination features two countries in uneasy truce. This was not a terrible book, just a somewhat underwhelming sophomore effort. What was fresh and sparkling in book one came through as somewhat forced in book two. Imagine my disappointment when I got the book and didn’t love it like I had the first. Snyder’s first Luna book ( Poison Study) so much that I was counting the months and days until the sequel came out.
