Summary
Raised among venomous creatures by a blind master, Wen Jingzhe can survive any poison. The noble family that abandoned her should be harmless by comparison. Instead, her parents cherish their adopted daughter, her brother despises her, and a prince would rather watch her burn. Jingzhe has no intention of playing the grateful victim. When her family offers her a bowl of poison meant to steal her sight, she drinks—and lets them believe it worked. With a dying warrior prince offering an uneasy alliance, she sets out to discover what her master meant by the world’s deadliest poison: the human heart.
