Throne of Glass
By Sarah J. MaasCelaena Sardothien is one of the most feared assassins in the kingdom—or at least she was, before betrayal landed her in the brutal salt mines of Endovier. After surviving a year of backbreaking labor, she’s offered a deal: compete in a deadly tournament to become the King’s Champion, and she’ll win her freedom. It’s not exactly a fair trade—serving the king she despises—but it’s better than dying in a mine. As Celaena trains for the competition under Captain Chaol Westfall’s watchful eye, she begins to uncover something sinister happening within the palace walls.
