Looking for the teen girl version of Game of Thrones? Find it in this sweeping fantasy debut — that already has thousands of loyal online fans.
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.
