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.

Great book, I really enjoyed it

The plot was fascinating, with a surprising ending. I was sure it was gonna be a happy ever after.

Brilliant

The story was so well written. Kept me on the edge of my seat all the time. Could not wait to finish it.

Excellent

I so enjoyed this book! I read it first before starting the series. Honestly I would suggest doing it this way because TOG picked up right where this left off. The narrator did an EXCELLENT job!! I thoroughly enjoyed her, she brought the book alive!

Good closure

This book had all the missing pieces of FMC’s life of how she became the heroine.
Great closure to everything.

Gut-wrenching prequel

I absolutely loved this book. It was enthralling and just as good as I had hoped. It did, however, destroy me.
