"A heart of ice. A will of steel. Meet the assassin."
Originating from the very simple childhood fairy tale we all know, Sarah J. Maas' novel "Throne of Glass" is a dark interpretation of Cinderella's true intentions at the ball. The book follows Celaena Sardothien, the notorious Adarlan's Assassin, as she is taken from the cruelty of the Endovian salt mines by the young Captain Westfall onto to be thrust into the great glass castle of the King of Ardarlan.
Prince Dorian Havilliard offers her something she cannot refuse; freedom. She must represent the slightly arrogant Crowned Prince in a to-the-death tournament, fighting against the most talented thieves and assassins in the land, in order to become the King's Champion. A King who rules over his people ruthlessly and relentlessly. A King who killed Celaena's parents. To win the tournament means her eventual freedom, to lose means her certain death. Either way, Celaena is glad to be free of the darkness of the salt mines.
