After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.
Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for four years and then be granted her freedom. Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilarating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her ... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.
Then one of the other contestants turns up dead ... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.
"She traced a finger over a splotch of fuchsia silk on her dress. All those books, with no one to read them."
I love this line from the book because it reminds me that even those Celaena is an assassin she loves to read. This book is a re-read for me as I attempt to finish the Throne of Glass series this year. What are you reading this Friday?
I loved this one!! I added you to the linky. Happy weekend, stay safe!

What a great series! And yes, this quote really shows that there is more to Celaena than just being an assassin :)

I love the opening too. I haven't read any of her books, but they always sound good when I come across mention of them. Maybe someday! Have a good weekend. Stay well and safe.
