A Throne of Glass novella.
On
a remote island in a tropical sea, Celaena Sardothien, feared assassin,
has come for retribution. She’s been sent by the Assassin’s Guild to
collect on a debt they are owed by the Lord of the Pirates. But when
Celaena learns that the agreed payment is not in money, but in slaves,
her mission suddenly changes—and she will risk everything to right the
wrong she’s been sent to bring about.
The Silent Assassins of
the Red Desert aren’t much for conversation, and Celaena Sardothien
wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s not there to chatter, she’s there
to hone her craft as the world’s most feared killer for hire. When the
quiet is shattered by forces who want to destroy the Silent Assassins,
Celaena must find a way to stop them, or she’ll be lucky to leave the
desert alive.
When the King of the
Assassins gives Celaena Sardothien a special assignment that will help
fight slavery in the kingdom, she jumps at the chance to strike a blow
against an evil practice. The misson is a dark and deadly affair which
takes Celaena from the rooftops of the city to the bottom of the
sewer—and she doesn’t like what she finds there.
Celaena Sardothien is
the assassin with everything: a place to call her own, the love of
handsome Sam, and, best of all, freedom. Yet, she won’t be truly free
until she is far away from her old master, Arobynn Hamel; Celaena must
take one last daring assignment that will liberate her forever. But
having it all, means you have a lot to lose . . .
This fourth fantastic e-novella gives readers an inside look at the characters who appear in the full-length novel Throne of Glass. Don’t miss out!
After serving out a year
of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old
assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince
Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his
champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin. Her opponents
are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each
sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents
in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for three years
and then be granted her freedom. Celaena finds her training sessions
with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating.
But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more
interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it's
the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best. Then one of
the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can
Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As
the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a
greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.
