  This is a fantastic story; "Poison Study" is the first part of a fantasy trilogy of Maria V. Snyder, a young author who incantated american young adults readers.

  The Snyder is a fabulous writer.

  She will now have published more than seven novels fantasy and therefore it is more experienced, but to the epoch it was to the debuts and for a reader to discover a similar talent it consists in the discovery of a shining and rare pearl among the rubbles of an old decayed house.
  Yelena has conquered me...

  Ixia, a imaginary place of the author Snyder, is formed from eight districts, that you/they are shortened with DM... for it is rigorously more a based country on the respect of the Military Code. He who govern it is the Commander Ambrose the same person that occupies him of the laws and of the wealths of the earth of Ixia.
  Yelena is a girl full of fears, undecided and to the strong meantime of mind. She has borne for years the violences of a young psychopath, as well as child of the man who has brought her friends of the orphanage and she to live one "best life" in his part of territory of old Ixia.
  A night Yelena for desperation kills Reyad.

  The commander has many enemies, the foods are checked in continuation by the official tasters and the last one she had been killed by a poison. To perceive the presence of a poison, Yelena will have to study with Valek the tastes of the foods with and without poison. What does it nail Yelena to the abode of Ambrose? You would like to try the escape... but the same day when Valek had given her the charge and you/he/she had reconciled the accord with a gulp of wine, Yelena had discovered from the bastard to have been poisoned. The dust of Butterfly is a fatal poison, if Yelena stopped assuming the antidote, after sun twenty-four hours it would be dead. This way it is forced to remain to Commander Ambrose's service... and of Valek. But the things won't be easy to be borne: the memoirs of the infancy and the adolescence keep on turning for her head, the horrors that Reyad had made her suffer they still resound in her wounded heart, poisoned. And this is only the beginning of her adventure.
