I never know to say in these things. I guess that says something about me. I read a lot, write stories, and like books. I like a good debate. Nothing else is to say. :-)
About a girl who is set to be hanged the next day for her crimes, but is selected to be the King's foodtaster. The first book goes through her training as poison detector and the mystery of her imprisonment and magical abilities. There is also hint of romance that is explored later. First of series.
