In Thanopolis, those gifted with magic are assigned undead spirits to guard them -and control them. Ever since Rovan’s father died trying to keep her from this fate, she’s hidden her magic. But when she accidentally reveals her powers, she’s bound to a spirit and thrust into a world of palace intrigue and deception. Desperate to escape, Rovan finds herself falling for two people she can’t fully trust: Lydea, a beguiling, rebellious princess; and Ivrilos, the handsome spirit with the ability to control Rovan, body and soul.

Princess Natasia is the eldest child of the Emperor Andreth, ruler of the Four Realms. If she was a boy, she’d be the unquestioned heir to the throne. But as a girl, her main duty in life is to marry someone her father can shape into his successor. Everything changes when an unknown, would-be assassin nearly takes Tasia’s life. Someone wants to destabilize the Empire - but who? Unsure of whom he can trust, the Emperor realizes that his daughter might be his best option for an heir.

Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents This Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron, read by Jordan Cobb.
Ever since she can remember, Briseis has had power over plants. Flowers bloom in her footsteps and leaves turn to face her as though she were the sun. It’s a power she and her adoptive mothers have spent her whole life trying to hide. And then Briseis inherits an old house from her birth mother and suddenly finds herself with the space and privacy to test her powers for the first time.
But as Briseis starts to bring the house’s rambling garden back to life, she finds she has also inherited generations of secrets. A hidden altar to a dark goddess, a lineage of witches stretching back to ancient times and a hidden garden overgrown with the most deadly poisonous plants on Earth. And Briseis’s long-departed ancestors aren’t going to let her rest until she accepts her place as the keeper of the terrible power that lies at the heart of the Poison Garden.
Cinderella Is Dead author Kalynn Bayron brings a message of proud inclusivity to this empowering fantasy about a young woman finding the strength to challenge everything she has been told is true.
Critic Reviews
"Ambitious, replacing the happily-ever-after with a tragic legacy and a defiant, feminist tone." (Publisher's Weekly Online)

A serial not a novel
Interesting concept and I would have given 4 stars but am irritated that this is not a stand alone tale. Lightweight in many ways. Fantasy lovers with “black like me” and/or LGBT focus may find it especially enjoyable and then might buy the next in the series. The use of the word “drug” instead of “dragged” says it all for me.

Loved it.
Great book, full of fun and interesting characters.
The story was slow at first, but really picked up and the ending was especially good.
The narrator was exceptional.
Can't wait for the sequel!
