Step into the world of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas with this collection of prequel novellas.
Celaena Sardothien is her kingdom's most feared assassin. Though she works for the powerful Assassin's Guild and its scheming master, Arobynn Hamel, she yields to no one and trusts only her fellow killer-for-hire, Sam. But when Arobynn dispatches her on missions that take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, Celaena finds herself acting independently of his wishes and questioning her own allegiance.
If she hopes to escape Arobynn's clutches, Celaena will have to put her faith in her wits and her blade ... knowing that if she fails, she'll lose not just a chance at freedom but her life.

In Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight, Maas refers to events in assassin Celaena's past that led her to become the King's Champion; this compilation of five prequel novellas recounts her experiences in the Assassins' Guild. Maas maintains tighter control over her prose here, and she highlights a softer side to Celaena's warrior persona through her relationship with fellow assassin Sam.(Copyright 2014 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
