Escaping a death warrant, Yelena sets forth to find her family in Sitia. Hailing from the Zaltana clan she finds that the family she has always longed for is within her grasp. Unfortunately not everyone is receptive to her homecoming; her brother is on a mission to reveal Yelena as a spy.

Irys has taken Yelena under her wing, trying to unlock the powers that lie hidden within her. They will need them, as a killer has been striking young women throughout Sitia, and Yelena is the key to his discovery. With the help of some old friends, Yelena will risk it all.

Never disappointing, Maria V Snyder does it again with MAGIC STUDY. Without a shred of doubt Yelena’s adventures will keep readers breathless in anticipation. With a popular wizardry series coming to an end, this is just what the doctor ordered. It will give you that love of reading all over again. Caution however, certain scenes portray a fair amount of violence and should be read by mature audiences. 

This is a sequel to POISON STUDY and should be read in order as some of the characters carry over. Overall, expressions cannot begin to explain the magic told within this gathering of books. This collection is definitely worth a mad dash to the bookstore, the next addition FIRE STUDY will be out later this year.
