Celeana
Sardothien is the most known person in Erilea. Her occupation? A notorious assassin.
Her age? Eighteen. And her present status? A prisoner in the worst place
anybody could think of. She thought she was going to die in that place until
one day, Dorian DeHavilliard, Adarlan’s prince and future king and Chaol
Westfall, Captain of the Guards visit and offer her to be the king’s Champion,
a trustworthy warrior that will fight on the king’s side. After servicing for
four years, she will be free again.
She finds
the offer quite tempting. How couldn’t she? And so, they start the journey back
to the glass and stone palace. There is a but though. In order to become the
king’s Champion, she must compete with thieves, assassins and a variety of
criminals. Piece of cake for Celeana or Lady Lillian better, because nobody in
the palace wants to know that the notorious assassin is just seventeen years
old.
But during the Tests, Celeana gains an enemy called Katlain Rompier who wants to become Dorian’s wife. And a second enemy, an opponent named Cain who has the upper hand because of the dark power he has as an ally. But Celeana has an ally too, a friend, the princess of Eyllwe, Nehemia Ytger.

Moreover,
she has to deal with every girl’s problem. Feelings. She falls for Dorian but
Chaol is the one who understands her better than anyone. A lot of decisions to
be made and very little time for Celeana to chooce.

synopsis:
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 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.
