An assassin with nothing to lose. A kingdom built on power. A deadly game with one rule: survive.
Celaena Sardothien is the most feared assassin in Adarlan—until betrayal lands her in a brutal prison. Her chance at freedom comes with a cost: win a royal tournament against twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors. The prize? Life as the King’s Champion.
But the glass castle holds darker secrets than a deadly competition. Magic may be gone, but something ancient and evil is lurking—and it’s killing the competitors one by one.
With the Crown Prince watching her closely, the Captain of the Guard guarding her life, and a kingdom on the edge of something monstrous, Celaena must fight for more than survival.
She must fight to become legend.
