About this ebook

One final mission could be the beginning...or the end.

Celaena Sardothien is the assassin with everything: a place to call her own, the love of handsome Sam, and, best of all, freedom. But Celaena won't be truly free until she is far away from her old master, Arobynn Hamel-so she and Sam decide to take a last daring assignment that will liberate them forever. And that's how Celaena learns that having everything means that everything can be taken away.

Ratings and reviews

Exceptional read. The writing full of subtle nuances and good story line. Disappointing that one of the main characters was killed but it did help as a segway into the next novel. Will definitely be watching for more from this author.

I knew this one would be sad, and it didn't dissappoint there, but it was also very well crafted. Although I was ultimately surprised by much, it was all so well crafted that I ultimately enjoyed the whole novella. I highly recommend all four prequel enovellas in the Throne of Glass series.

One of the best books ever!
