This collection of five novellas is a prequel to Throne of Glass (2012), introducing fans to a 16-year-old Celaena Sardothien, who, despite her youth, has already developed considerable lethal skills and a personal code of integrity that bows to no unworthy leader. Though the novellas were available previously as individual e-books, fans and libraries will delight in having this gorgeous edition of the interconnected stories. Action-packed and full of insight into Celaena's character, the narratives entertain as Celaena battles pirates, frees slaves, wins friends, loses others, and delivers justice while taking a few licks herself. She'll end up enslaved in the Endovier salt mines, of course, but what a ride!

In Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight, Maas refers to events in assassin Celaena's past that led her to become the King's Champion; this compilation of five prequel novellas recounts her experiences in the Assassins' Guild. Maas maintains tighter control over her prose here, and she highlights a softer side to Celaena's warrior persona through her relationship with fellow assassin Sam.
