Summary: In a kingdom devoid of magic, assassin Celaena Sardothien is summoned to the castle, not to kill, but to compete for her freedom. Facing twenty-three deadly opponents, she must survive a brutal contest to become the king's champion. As the Crown Prince tests her resolve and the Captain of the Guard offers protection, a dark presence lurks within the castle walls. When fellow competitors start dying mysteriously, Celaena's quest for freedom turns into a battle for survival. Can she uncover the evil before it claims her life and the kingdom's future?
