After serving out a year
of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old
assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince
Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his
champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.
Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from
across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's 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 exhilirating. 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

Da, doar ca prin toamna, din pacate atat de tarziu.
