What this book is about
In this second Study novel, Yelena Zaltana travels to Sitia to study her magical abilities and reconnect with her birth family, but the warm homecoming she hoped for turns cold quickly. Political tensions, a serial killer targeting young women with magical power, and the psychological weight of her past in Ixia create escalating danger. Like Poison Study before it, the novel addresses Yelena's history of sexual assault (referenced, not depicted) and the ongoing psychological effects of trauma, alongside its action-fantasy plot.
