She is the greatest assassin her world has ever known. But where will her conscience, and her heart, lead her?
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 willing to fight for?
So many twists!!!!! If you think ToG was good, you MUST read this. There is more action, more romance, and more twisty plot twists! This is the BEST book in the series so far. It is (dare I say) ALMOST AS GOOD AS HARRY POTTER.
Much better read than book one. Still some problems, but overall WAY more complex and interesting.
