'An exquisite and beguiling debut . . . An unforgettable retelling' VICTORIA MACKENZIE, author of For Thy Great Pain Have Mercy on My Little Pain
Eka is a vishkanya, fed a diet of poison from a young age until she can kill with it, but it cannot kill her. She is commanded to be a weapon for her king, and when Alexander the Great threatens her homeland Eka is sent to stand in the way of his relentless conquest.
Hidden within his court, Eka comes face to face with the threat Alexander's invasions pose to every person in his way, not least the woman she is falling deeper and deeper in love with.
Raised to do the bidding of one king, and faced with the terrible ambition of another, Eka must make a choice that will change the world . . .
The Poison Palace is a stunning blend of historical and speculative fiction that tells the story of Alexander's invasion of India as it's never been told before.
