Description

The twist of a knife. The birth of a legend.

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.

A prequel to the New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass, this collection of five novellas explores the history of this cunning assassin and her enthralling-and deadly-world.

Included in this volume:
The Assassin and the Pirate Lord
The Assassin and the Healer
The Assassin and the Desert
The Assassin and the Underworld
The Assassin and the Empire

  • Amazing story of Hope

    5
    By Jrfun
    The end always gives me such hope for a better future when I think of it. I love this book and I always will. I’ll hope that when I become a Mom, my kids will enjoy reading this series as much as I did. If I could, I’d erase my memory of this series, anything to experience the shock, tears, smiles, laughs, and triumphs of this series, the ups and downs of it, for the first time again.

    After I finished reading the ACOTAR series, I tried to get into these. But they weren’t as good.

  • AMAZING. A MUST READ

    Beautifully written. Great character development. Can’t wait to see what will happen next. By the way, there were no missing parts here as it was mentioned in other reviews. It seems an update was submitted and the missing story was added back.

    I loved this book. I read it after HOF, which is highly recommend. However, reading the tandem and realizing I’m missing info….because this version is missing The Assassin and the Healer! Get the digital copy on Kindle or read the physical book for the full version and you aren’t stuck going back like me.

  • Loved the book, but missing a whole story!

    I enjoyed the book, but had no idea I was missing a whole chapter until I was listening to a podcast and realized I had no idea what they were even talking about! Not cool Apple. I would have just bought the physical book!

  • A Great Prequeal

    I ended up reading throne of glass first not realizing Celaena’s story began with this one. This was an amazing read and each story helps you understand her story before Throne of Glass !!! A lovely story to read!

  • Missing an entire novella
