Publisher's summary

Selene is the youngest daughter in a gifted line of healers, born to serve as the king's royal physician. Yet when Selene's mother Persaphe embroils her in a plot to kill the king, Selene finds herself poisoning the very man she is sworn to protect.

Things seem bleak, but there is another problem—the poison doesn't work, and the king doesn't die. Rather, he awakes from his coma paralyzed, aware of the attempt on his life, and furious.

With the palace in a state of upheaval and everyone hunting the king's poisoner, Persaphe flees, leaving Selene the task of rehabilitating the man she aimed to kill, all while hiding her true role in his demise. What follows is a journey spanning years and continents, as a king and his servant develop into unlikely friends . . . and more. Yet the closer Selene grows to the king, the more her secret weighs on her, as does her growing fear that Persaphe—having failed to kill him once—might return to try again.

Bury me with this book

To Poison a King is one of my favorite books of all time. It’s a story that really resonated with me and that buried it’s way into my soul and will remain there. I’ve already read this book twice since it’s release, and I am so happy to have the audiobook to listen to! The narration is beautiful and keeps your immersed in the story. This story could not have been more beautifully done, the characters are incredible, Selene has to be one of my favorite characters to date. I will never stop recommending this book to everyone!

Just WOW

SG Prince has an unmatched writing style! To Poison a King is an incredible and unique story that had me literally clinging to every word swept away by what happened in each moment and eagerly wanting to know what was about to happen! Her story will not disappoint readers of any age, young adult to 100 year olds! Wisdom is woven through the story which leaves the reader with more to ponder than simply being entertained.
Lauren Irwin was outstanding in her reading of this incredible book. I loved reading the paperback and loved the audiobook all the more! Thank you both for your gifts!

Full of depth

I love stories like this. I love the depth of the characters and love to see them evolve. If you don’t enjoy character-driven stories, this is probably not for you. But I loved it and enjoyed the plot too! Highly recommend!
