NEVER TRUST AN ASSASSIN. Celaena’s story continues in this second book in the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.

Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become the King’s Champion. But she is far from loyal to the crown. Though she goes to great lengths to hide her secret, her deadly charade becomes more difficult when she realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. Her search for answers ensnares those closest to her, and no one is safe from suspicion-not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a princess with a rebel heart.

Then, one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena’s world shatters, she will be forced to decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie . . . and what she is willing to fight for.

The second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series returns readers to a land destroyed by liars, where one woman’s truth is the only thing that can save them all.

Wow! This book had some slow parts, but they didn't last long. So much information and twists! My heart was broken more than once and I'm still shook about the ending.

I enjoyed this one even more the the first. The characters development was well done and interesting.

WOW!!! That was epic. I need more!

For whatever reason, I did not see the end coming. And now I just want to learn more about what Celaena, Chaol, and Dorian are going to do. This book definitely set up the journey that Celaena will be undertaking and what is in store for everyone else.
