The Assassin's Blade

About The Assassin's Blade

For readers who want to understand who Celaena Sardothien was before Throne of Glass — and to brace for the backstory that explains everything. This collection of five prequel novellas follows Celaena during her years as an assassin-for-hire, tracing the relationships and losses that forged her. The final novella is an emotional gut-punch that casts the entire Throne of Glass series in a new light. Best read after Heir of Fire, when context makes each reveal land harder. A must-read for any fan of the series.
