The long path to the
throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius as war looms on the
horizon. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost
and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves at odds with
those who don't.
With her heart sworn to the warrior-prince by
her side, and her fealty pledged to the people she is determined to
save, Aelin will delve into the depths of her power to protect those she
loves. But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, and dark
forces become poised to claim her world, the only chance for salvation
will lie in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin
holds dear.
In this breathtaking fifth installment of the New York Times
bestselling Throne of Glass series, Aelin will have to choose what—and
who—to sacrifice if she's to keep the world of Erilea from breaking
apart.
Celaena Sardothien is
Adarlan's most feared assassin. As part of the Assassin's Guild, her
allegiance is to her master, Arobynn Hamel, yet Celaena listens to no
one and trusts only her fellow killer-for-hire, Sam. In these
action-packed novellas - together in one edition for the first time -
Celaena embarks on five daring missions. They take her from remote
islands to hostile deserts, where she fights to liberate slaves and
seeks to avenge the tyrannous. But she is acting against Arobynn's
orders and could suffer an unimaginable punishment for such treachery.
Will Celaena ever be truly free? Explore the dark underworld of this
kick-ass heroine to find out.
"A line that should never be crossed is about to be breached.
It puts this entire castle in jeopardy—and the life of your friend."
From
the throne of glass rules a king with a fist of iron and a soul as
black as pitch. Assassin Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to
become his Champion. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown. She
hides her secret vigilantly; she knows that the man she serves is bent
on evil.
Keeping up the deadly charade becomes increasingly
difficult when Celaena realizes she is not the only one seeking justice.
As she tries to untangle the mysteries buried deep within the glass
castle, her closest relationships suffer. It seems no one is above
questioning her allegiances—not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the
Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a foreign
princess with a rebel heart.
Then one terrible night, the secrets
they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena's
world shatters, she will be forced to give up the very thing most
precious to her and decide once and for all where her true loyalties
lie... and whom she is ultimately willing to fight for.
"Nothing is a
coincidence. Everything has a purpose. You were meant to come to this
castle, just as you were meant to be an assassin."
When magic
has gone from the world, and a vicious king rules from his throne of
glass, an assassin comes to the castle. She does not come to kill, but
to win her freedom. If she can defeat twenty-three killers, thieves, and
warriors in a competition to find the greatest assassin in the land,
she will become the King's Champion and be released from prison.
Her name is Celaena Sardothien.
The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her.
And a princess from a foreign land will become the one thing Celaena never thought she'd have again: a friend.
But
something evil dwells in the castle—and it's there to kill. When her
competitors start dying, horribly, one by one, Celaena's fight for
freedom becomes a fight for survival—and a desperate quest to root out
the source of the evil before it destroys her world.
