Throne of Glass
By: Sarah J. Maas
Her opponents are men—thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the kings council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she’ll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom.
Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilarating. But she’s bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it’s the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.
Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.
Is it just me, or is there a lot of great fantasy coming out this fall? Add this one to my list of books that I'll be racing to the bookstore to get!
Wow. I haven't heard this of this one. It sounds great! Thanks for letting me know.
ReplyDeleteAnd btw...I finally bought my plane ticket to NYC last night! So excited for the trip.
I've been wanting to feature it for WEEKS, but the cover just came out this week.
DeleteAnd I can't wait to meet you! I'm glad you bought your ticket!

This one's just been added to my Goodreads wish list :) It kind of makes me think of the Study series from Maria V. Snyder.
