Never trust an assassin. Celaena's story continues in this second book in the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become the King's Champion. But she is far from loyal to the crown. Though she goes to great lengths to hide her secret; her deadly charade becomes more difficult when she realises she is not the only one seeking justice. Her search for answers ensnares those closest to her; and no one is safe from suspicion - not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol; the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend; Nehemia; a princess with a rebel heart. Then; one terrible night; the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena's world shatters; she will be forced to decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie ... and what she is willing to fight for. The second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series returns readers to a land destroyed by liars; where one woman's truth is the only thing that can save them all.
