At the start, we learn that the protagonist is an imprisoned assassin. She has been given a special opportunity to compete to be the King's champion. If she wins, she can earn her freedom in a few years. She takes the opportunity. She knows she is good. Things get weird with the competition. Competitors die gruesome deaths. She meets up with the ghost of an old queen. She struggles on a test to identify poisons. These two events will come together to help her in the final chance to become champion. There are also various romantic intrigues. It found myself sometimes confused due to the similarity of various names. This is your typical female-driven young adult fantasy.
