Celaena Sardothien

Adarlan's Assassin · Champion of the King

Pulled out of the salt mines of Endovier to fight for her freedom — proud, smart, deadly, and far more dangerous than the people around her realize.

Eighteen

At eighteen, Celaena Sardothien is the most feared assassin in Adarlan — and a prisoner. A year of slow death in the salt mines of Endovier has worn her body down, but not her hunger for freedom.

Crown Prince Dorian offers her a way out: become his Champion, win the King's tournament against twenty-three other killers and thieves, serve four years, and walk free.

She says yes because she has to — and because the Glass Castle holds something she can't explain yet: a friend in Princess Nehemia, a captain who keeps a careful eye on her, and a strange door covered in old, forgotten magic.

My name is Celaena Sardothien, and I will not be afraid.
