Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder

3.5


This is the story of an orphan girl, who gets rescued by a noble house only to be used by them, in terrible ways, that culminated in her killing the eldest son. 
We are discovering exactly what happened as the story evolves, but we are thrust into her story just as she is about to get executed for her crime, when the poison master calls for her and offers her to become the new poison taster to the Commander…
There’s not really any choice for her when the alternative is death, but to cooperate!

And while trying to understand her new job, and not to die while training, she has to navigate court intrigue, assassination plots, and a strange magic that grows in her in a country where ANY magic is outlawed
