The Poison Seller

About this book

In the kingdom of Mahd, prestige is measured by polished swords and military discipline. Lina, daughter of Commander Dagher, has mastered the art of healing within the ordered world of the palace, yet longs for the rural quiet of Shadow and the forests inhabited by the feared Poisoners. There she meets Saqr, an enigmatic hunter whose people have been cast as merciless monsters. As Lina begins to question the history taught by the kingdom, a poisoned well exposes a conspiracy reaching into the struggle between Mahd and Oberis. Racing to save the forest community, she learns that an antidote may emerge from the very substance everyone fears—and that the true enemy may be the one directing events from the shadows. The Poison Seller is a fantasy of danger, compassion, political intrigue, and a love born across the boundary between suspicion and truth.
