The winner will receive a favor from the princess, which may be Ning's only chance to save her sister's life. n nBut between the backstabbing competitors, bloody court politics, and a mysterious (and handsome) boy with a shocking secret, Ning might actually be the one in more danger. n nPraise for A Magic Steeped in Poison: n nA USA Today Bestseller nA Publishers Weekly Bestseller nAn ABA Indie Bestseller nAn ABA Indies Introduce Selection nAn ABA Indies Next Pick n nBeautifully written, from the setting to the magic system, A Magic Steeped in Poison is sure to enchant both fantasy lovers and cdrama aficionados.
