Crown of Midnight

Celaena Sardothien has won the title of King's Champion, but serving as royal assassin to a tyrant she despises is its own kind of prison. Ordered to hunt down and execute the king's enemies, Celaena begins quietly defying him, sparing the very targets she's sent to kill, a dangerous game that could cost her everything and everyone she's come to love. As she's drawn deeper into the court's secrets and the stirrings of long-buried magic, betrayal and heartbreak force her to confront who she truly is. The second book in Sarah J. Maas's #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series raises the stakes with deadly intrigue, devastating twists, and a heroine discovering that her destiny is far greater, and far more perilous, than she ever imagined. Best read after Throne of Glass. Available now at Spindle & Spine Bookstore.
