Description
After a year of brutal slavery in the salt mines of Endovier, Celaena Sardothien—Adarlan’s infamous assassin—expects only one ending: death. Instead, Crown Prince Dorian offers a bargain. If she competes in a tournament to become the King’s Champion, she can earn her freedom… eventually. But to win, she must survive court politics, ruthless rivals, and a royal guard captain who distrusts her as much as he can’t ignore her.
Inside Rifthold’s glittering glass castle, the “competition” quickly turns lethal. Champions are found ripped apart, organs missing, and strange symbols—Wyrdmarks—appear near the bodies. As Celaena trains, forms fragile alliances, and balances dangerous feelings for Dorian and Chaol, she uncovers a horror being summoned from beyond the world—one that feeds on death and may be tied to the king’s darkest ambitions.
