In the territory of Ixia control is maintained through the Code of Behaviour forbidding the practice of magic, but danger lurks in mysterious places... Imprisoned for murder, Yelena Zaltana's punishment is death, unless she accepts the Position of the Commander of Ixia's food taster... and risks assassination from poison daily. In a world where magic equals death and freedom is for the lucky few, the battle for Yelena's life has just begun. Magic Study Confronting The Past - Controlling The Future. With an execution order on her head, Yelena has no choice but to escape to Sitia, the land of her birth. With only a year to master her magic – or face death – Yelena must begin her apprenticeship and travels to the Four Towers of the Magician’s Keep. But nothing in Sitia is familiar. Not the family to whom she is a stranger. Not the unsettling new facets of her magic. Not the brother who resents her return. As she struggles to understand where she belongs and how to control her rare powers, a rogue magician emerges – and Yelena catches his eye. Suddenly she is embroiled in battle against good and evil. And once again it will be her magical abilities that will either save her life…or be her downfall. Fire Study The battle of her life has begun In the barren territory of Sitia, power comes at a price. Yelena Zaltana possesses the most terrifying magic in the district the ability to capture and release souls. While the sinister Sitian council meet to decide her fate, Yelena must capture a Soulstealer, her dark counterpart, until she discovers someone far more dangerous. And in the war between good and evil, there can only ever be one victor. Shadow Study Once, only her own life hung in the balance… When Yelena was a poison taster, her life was simpler.

Suddenly, though, dissent is rising. And Valek’s job―and his life―are in danger. As Yelena tries to uncover her enemies, she faces a new challenge: her magic is blocked. And now she must find a way to keep not only herself but all that she holds dear alive. Night Study A NEW DARKNESS IS RISING FOR YELENA ZALTANA Ever since being kidnapped from the Illiais jungle as a child, Yelena Zaltana's life has been in peril. But the recent loss of her Soulfinding abilities - the powerful magic that has protected her before - has made her more vulnerable to her enemies. As she searches for a way to reclaim her abilites neither Ixia nor Sitia are safe for her. Especially since the growing discord between the two countries and the possibility of a war threatens everything Yelena holds dear. Now with the most sinister threat she as ever faced approaching, Yelena...
