Beautiful. Deadly. Destined for greatness.
In the dark, filthy salt mines of Endovier, an eighteen-year-old girl is
serving a life sentence. She is a trained assassin, the best of her kind,
but she made a fatal mistake. She got caught. Young Captain Westfall
offers her a deal: her freedom in return for one huge sacrifice. Celaena
must represent the prince in a to-the-death tournament - fighting the most
gifted thieves and assassins in the land. Live or die, Celaena will be
free. Win or lose, she is about to discover her true destiny.
Throne of Glass is a fantasy novel series. The story follows the journey of Celaena Sardothien, a teenage assassin in a corrupt kingdom with a tyrannical ruler. As the tale progresses, Celaena forms unexpected bonds and uncovers a conspiracy amidst her adventures.
The Assassin's Blade is a prequel consisting of 4 short stories that take place before the Throne of Glass storyline. However, it is recommended by most readers to read The Assassin's Blade after Heir of Fire, but before Queen of Shadows. The main reason being that this gives the most impactful and emotional connection to the characters and story in The Assassin's Blade if you understand more about those characters from the later books.
