A Chronicles Of Ixia Series Collection brings together six books by Maria Snyder, following Yelena across Ixia and Sitia as her abilities, loyalties and survival are repeatedly tested. Beginning with a stark choice between execution and a dangerous reprieve, the series traces her shifting role from poison taster to a figure caught in political tension and rising threats.
Across the collection, Yelena faces assassination risks, contested magic, and plots that place both her and her homelands in jeopardy. As dissent grows and enemies close in, she must navigate uneasy alliances, blocked powers and escalating conflict, while her bond with Valek is challenged by events that reach beyond borders.
Facing execution for murder, Yelena is offered a reprieve: become a food taster for the Commander of Ixia. The role comes with comfort, but also constant danger, including the threat of assassination. Given Butterfly’s Dust, she must report daily for an antidote to avoid a slow, agonising death, while unrest grows and her own uncontrolled magic begins to surface.
With an execution order still hanging over her, Yelena flees to Sitia, the land of her birth. She has one year to master her magic and begins an apprenticeship that takes her to the Four Towers of the Magician’s Keep. In unfamiliar surroundings and strained family ties, she confronts unsettling changes in her powers as a rogue magician draws her into a new conflict.
Yelena’s apprenticeship is complete, but a greater test begins when news spreads that she is a Soulfinder, able to capture and release souls. As the Council debates her fate, she receives a warning of a plot against her homeland led by a murderous sorcerer she has defeated before. With uncertain allies and enemies around her, she must push her skills to their limits to protect the land she values.
Yelena once found life simpler as a poison taster, but she has since become part of the balance of power between Ixia and Sitia. Now she uses magic to keep peace and protect her relationship with Valek as dissent rises and his work and life are threatened. While trying to identify her enemies, she faces a new obstacle when her magic is blocked.
Kidnapped from the Illiais Jungle as a child, Yelena Zaltana has long lived with danger. After losing her Soulfinding abilities, she is more vulnerable than ever. As she searches for a way to reclaim her magic, enemies close in and neither Ixia nor Sitia remains safe.
Yelena and Valek have formed an irrevocable bond and a family that crosses borders, but their homelands stand on the brink of war. They fight with magic and cunning to counter an Ixian plot to invade Sitia, while Yelena seeks to break the hold of the insidious Theobroma used to weaken resistance to magical persuasion. Pursued by bounty hunters and facing the Cartel’s influence, they uncover layers of betrayal as the fate of all rests on two unlikely weapons.
