Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
Picture
Picture
This is a rollicking, exciting fantasy novel with a strong, intelligent female protagonist, Yelena.  Her world is authoritarian and rigid with strict laws. Yelena is offered a choice between death and becoming the leader’s poison taster.  “Sieges weather, fight together, friends forever” is a quote from the book that encapsulates Yelena’s adventures as she learns to adapt to and change her world.  On one level, this is a wonderful fantasy novel, but the deeper themes stay with readers for years.

2018 Campaign Timeline:   Multiple copies of the winning title will be available at your local public library beginning in January 2018.  Reading of the OBOC title will take place during January.
