Descubre cómo empezó la emocionante historia de Celaena Sardothien. Celaena Sardothien es la asesina más temida de Adarlan, y aunque está bajo el mando del poderoso y despiadado gremio de los asesinos, no cede ante nadie y confía solamente en Sam, otro asesino a sueldo. Cuando el maestro de Celaena, Arobynn Hamel, la envía a misteriosas misiones en islas remotas y desiertos hostiles, Celaena se sorprende a sí misma ignorando sus órdenes y cuestionándose su alianza con él. En sus travesías hará tanto amigos como enemigos y descubrirá que siente por Sam algo más que una amistad. Al desafiar las órdenes de Arobynn, Celaena se arriesgará a castigos inimaginables, poniendo a Sam también en peligro: tendrán que jugárselo todo si desean escapar de las garras de Arobynn… y si fracasan, perderán no solo su libertad, sino también sus vidas. En esta precuela de la Saga Trono de cristal se incluyen cinco relatos que ofrecen una mirada más profunda a la historia de esta astuta asesina y su excitante y peligroso mundo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Celaena Sardothien is her kingdom’s most feared assassin. Though she works for the powerful and ruthless Assassin’s Guild, Celaena yields to no one and trusts only her fellow killer for hire, Sam. When Celaena’s scheming master, Arobynn Hamel, dispatches her on missions that take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, she finds herself acting independently of his wishes-and questioning her own allegiance. Along the way, she makes friends and enemies alike, and discovers that she feels far more for Sam than just friendship. But by defying Arobynn’s orders, Celaena risks unimaginable punishment, and with Sam by her side, he is in danger, too. They will have to risk it all if they hope to escape Arobynn’s clutches-and if they fail, they’ll lose not just a chance at freedom, but their lives . . . A prequel to Throne of Glass, this collection of five novellas offers readers a deeper look into the history of this cunning assassin and her enthralling-and deadly-world. Included in this volume: The Assassin and the Pirate LordThe Assassin and the HealerThe Assassin and the DesertThe Assassin and the UnderworldThe Assassin and the Empire
