Yelena is in prison for murder, scheduled for execution. On the day she is scheduled to hang, luck is on her side. The commander's food taster has just died and the law says that the next prisoner scheduled for execution must be offered the job of food taster. Yelena has a choice - accept the position and live under the constant threat of being poisoned, or hang as scheduled. Being around the commander as food taster puts Yelena in a position to know about Ixian politics and she is soon drawn into a plot to overthrow the commander. I really liked the heroine, Yelena. She never gives up and keeps her wits about her when she is in danger.
