Description:An assassin’s loyalties are always in doubt.
But her heart never wavers.
After
a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old
assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new
royal assassin. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret
she hides from even her most intimate confidantes.
Keeping up the
deadly charade—while pretending to do the king's bidding—will test her
in frightening new ways, especially when she's given a task that could
jeopardize everything she's come to care for. And there are far more
dangerous forces gathering on the horizon -- forces that threaten to
destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a
choice.
Where do the assassin’s loyalties lie, and who is she most willing to fight for?
