The Prince and the Poisoner by Helena Rookwood

Steal from a prince.
Poison a princess.
She could win her freedom or destroy a kingdom…

With her mysterious gift for potion making, Lira knows she could be more than just a healer in a traveling circus. When her magical skills attract the attention of two men powerful enough to bring down kingdoms, she sees an opportunity to escape.

Disguised in the fabled Carnival of Stars, Lira travels to the palace, tasked with putting an end to a royal engagement. But she soon realizes she’s a pawn in a much bigger game of magic and betrayal.

And when she finally meets the prince, Lira must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice in order to prevent a war. Her freedom…or her heart.
