The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas (Paperback)

The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas is a thrilling collection of five prequel novellas to the bestselling Throne of Glass series, revealing the early life of Celaena Sardothien, the kingdom’s most feared assassin. Before she became the King’s Champion, Celaena was a young killer-for-hire, navigating a dangerous world where every choice could mean life or death.

Under the watchful eye of Arobynn Hamel, the powerful and cunning master of the Assassin’s Guild, Celaena executes missions that take her from remote islands to hostile deserts. Yet, despite the risks, she begins to act on her own instincts, testing boundaries and questioning loyalties. With only her trusted ally Sam by her side, she learns that trust is rare—and survival demands cunning, skill, and courage.

Each novella delves into a pivotal moment in Celaena’s life: her deadly assignments, encounters with friends and foes, and the decisions that shape her into the lethal, magnetic assassin fans meet in Throne of Glass.

Packed with tension, intrigue, and dark adventure, The Assassin’s Blade offers readers an immersive glimpse into Celaena’s formative years, combining action, strategy, and a heroine whose wits are as sharp as her blade.
