Poison Study
Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
This is a fantasy set love story. Yelena is sentenced to death after an attack on her abusive master/fosterfather but is offered the job of food taster for the King. She is told she has been given a long acting poison which will kill her if she does not get a regular antidote (so no running away). Yelena is beautiful, smart, a whiz at taste testing, politically savvy, cute as a button, and has magical talents as well. Oh yeah, AND she's a gymnast/acrobat.
Will she survive? Will her jailer hate her forever? Will she be forced to betray her country? Well, that part is obvious but the path is entertaining.
