Book 1 of the Study series
OH MY GOODNESS! This is one of the best Adult Fiction/Fantasy books I have read since the Mercy Thompson series. There are so many twists and turns that I had no way of figuring out the story until each point was revealed. Yelena finds herself in prison after murdering someone for just cause. The Code is strict, though, and even just causes cannot equal murder. She is presented to Valek, the person that metes out justice, and is given the choice of either becoming the Commander's food taster - thus living long enough until poison takes her life one day, or, heading to the executioner and ending her life now. Yelena chooses life, though not the easiest life. In her country, being magical means your immediate death and she is full of magic she must hide. She also had the father of her victim to contend with who will do anything to see her dead and avenge his son's death. Toss in mystery, romance, fantasy and one serious shock... and you have a fabulous new series to entertain your imagination.
