In a land without magic, where the king rules with an iron
hand, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She comes not to kill the king,
but to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three killers, thieves, and
warriors in a competition, she is released from prison to serve as the king's
champion. Her name is Celaena Sardothien.
The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard
will protect her. But something evil dwells in the castle of glass--and it's
there to kill. When her competitors start dying one by one, Celaena's fight for
freedom becomes a fight for survival, and a desperate quest to root out the
evil before it destroys her world.
A lighter read than the rest of the things I have been reading it is a nice break. A adventure novel in the spirit of The Hunger Games and Star wars, it is pretty good.
