Judy I. Linâs sweeping debut A Magic Steeped in Poison, first in a duology, is sure to enchant fans of Adrienne Young and Leigh Bardugo.
I used to look at my hands with pride. Now all I can think is, âThese are the hands that buried my mother.â
For Ning, the only thing worse than losing her mother is knowing that itâs her own fault. She was the one who unknowingly brewed the poison tea that killed herâthe poison tea that now threatens to also take her sister, Shu.
When Ning hears of a competition to find the kingdomâs greatest shennong-shiâmasters of the ancient and magical art of tea-makingâshe travels to the imperial city to compete. The winner will receive a favor from the princess, which may be Ningâs only chance to save her sisterâs life.
But between the backstabbing competitors, bloody court politics, and a mysterious (and handsome) boy with a shocking secret, Ning might actually be the one in more danger.
