For Celaena Sardothien, resistance and victory are the only options. Now, in the second volume of the Throne of Glass series, she will fight for her life in a deadly competition with the greatest assassins in the realm. In a special collector's edition, with a hardcover and exclusive graphic design, Throne of Glass is one of the highly anticipated deluxe editions of the debut saga by Sarah J. Maas, one of the biggest names in fantasy.
While the wicked king of Adarlan rules from his glass throne, mercilessly punishing the rebellious minorities, the assassin Calaena Sardothien is brought to the castle after being summoned by the king and taken from the salt mines of Endovier. After surviving constant torture and leaving the place where no one survives, a new death sentence presents itself: representing the crown prince in a competition with the greatest assassins in the kingdom.
More lethal than any of them, Celaena accepts, because if she defeats all the assassins, thieves, and soldiers, she will be the king's champion and free after serving him for a few years. If regaining her freedom means adding a few more kills to her long list, then so be it.
During her stay at the castle, the crown prince will tease her, and the captain of the guard will do everything to protect her. And a princess from a distant land will become something Celaena never thought she would have again: a friend.
But something evil inhabits the castle—and its purpose is to kill. As the other competitors begin to die, one by one, in horrific fashion, Celaena finds herself embroiled in yet another battle for survival, and begins a desperate journey to uncover the source of this evil before it destroys her world—and her only chance at freedom.
In Throne of Glass , Adarlan's assassin's every duel will be a matter of life or death. But if the price is her freedom, she's willing to do anything.
