In a land stripped of magic, a young assassin named Celaena Sardothien is offered a perilous bargain: fight for her freedom in a deadly competition or rot in the king's prison. "Throne of Glass" by Sarah J. Maas plunges readers into a world of intrigue, magic, and heart-stopping adventure.

Redemption and Second Chances

Celaena is no damsel in distress. A notorious assassin at just nineteen, she is haunted by her past. When presented with the opportunity to win her freedom, she seizes it with both hands.
