Throne of Glass a Prequel

Celaena Sardothien is one of the most feared assassin in the kingdom but she has standards. When she’s sent to the Pirates thinking that she is just getting payment for the deaths of her fellow assassins, she learns she was mistaken. Her master wants to start working in the slave trade and she and her companion want nothing to do with it. Now she has to figure out how to save these people and not get caught.

This is a prequel to Throne of Glass. I am one of those readers that likes to read books in chronological order. This is a compilation of short stories that are all connected. What is great is they can be read as standalone stories, but I feel are best to be read from start to finish. It is a great character back story for Celaena who is the main character in the Throne of Glass story. You get to see how Celaena became who she is. I loved reading this book and can’t wait to read Throne of Glass.

Step into the world of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas with this collection of prequel novellas.

Celaena Sardothien is her kingdom's most feared assassin. Though she works for the powerful Assassin's Guild and its scheming master, Arobynn Hamel, she yields to no one and trusts only her fellow killer-for-hire, Sam. But when Arobynn dispatches her on missions that take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, Celaena finds herself acting independently of his wishes and questioning her own allegiance.

If she hopes to escape Arobynn's clutches, Celaena will have to put her faith in her wits and her blade . . . knowing that if she fails, she'll lose not just a chance at freedom but her life.

A prequel to the New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass, this collection of five novellas explores the history of this cunning assassin and her enthralling-and deadly-world.
