Celaena Sardothien is her kingdom's most feared assassin. Though she
works for the powerful and ruthless Assassin's Guild, Celaena yields to
no one and trusts only her fellow killer for hire, Sam.
When Celaena's scheming master, Arobynn Hamel, dispatches her on
missions that take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, she finds
herself acting independently of his wishes-and questioning her own
allegiance. Along the way, she makes friends and enemies alike, and
discovers that she feels far more for Sam than just friendship. But by
defying Arobynn's orders, Celaena risks unimaginable punishment, and
with Sam by her side, he is in danger, too. They will have to risk it
all if they hope to escape Arobynn's clutches-and if they fail, they'll
lose not just a chance at freedom, but their lives . . .
A prequel to Throne of Glass, this collection of five novellas offers
readers a deeper look into the history of this cunning assassin and her
enthralling-and deadly-world.
