Marinda has kissed dozens of boys. They all die afterward. It's a miserable life, but being a vish kanya--a "poison maiden", is what she was created to do. Until now, the young men she was ordered to kiss have been strangers. When she receives orders to kiss a boy she loves, she questions who she's really working for. And that is a thread that will unravel more than she can afford to lose.
A teenage assassin kills with a single kiss until she is ordered to kill the one boy she loves. This commercial YA fantasy is romantic and addictive-like a poison kiss-and will thrill fans of Sarah J. Maas and Victoria Aveyard.
Marinda has kissed dozens of boys. They all die afterward. It's a miserable life, but being a visha kanya -a poison maiden-is what she was created to do. Marinda serves the Raja by dispatching his enemies with only her lips as a weapon.
Until now, the men she was ordered to kiss have been strangers, enemies of the kingdom. Then she receives orders to kiss Deven, a boy she knows too well to be convinced he needs to die. She begins to question who she's really working for. And that is a thread that, once pulled, will unravel more than she can afford to lose.
This rich, surprising, and accessible debut is based in Indian folklore and delivers a story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
