Klappentext

NAOMI WEATHERS is running from something-and no one knows it. For years, a single dark decision has haunted one of the most talented healers in Mithra-Sha, drawing a deep chasm between Naomi and her friends and family. But when her past catches up to her at last, it comes in the form of an ultimatum she never expected. To save herself from the gallows, Naomi must undertake a perilous charge: travel to Hadrass-Drui, the mysterious Land of Spice and Secrets, and help hunt down an assassin threatening the country's noble family. THE POET POISONER is on the hunt...and Naomi has just stepped into his path. Fighting to find her footing in a country ravaged by paranoia and poison, Naomi must pit her wits-and her most secret talents as a healer and a poison study-against the mind and might of one of Hadrass-Drui's most prolific killers. But the deeper she infiltrates and the more she uncovers of the Poet's plans, the more entangled the schemes become. Not all enemies are as they seem. Not all allies can be trusted. And saving Hadrass-Drui proves a greater feat than Naomi ever feared; to do it may mean losing her heart to the last person she ever expected...the only one who understands the choices that put her on the run. The enigmatic and enchanting poisoner she's been sent to destroy.
