After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin. Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom.

Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilarating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.

Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another.

Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.

AND

My Top Three

in COYER Challenge Winter Edition 2014 - 2015

  

1. All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
Masih ngga bisa move on dari buku ini, terus-terusan sedih setiap kali keinget sama Finch. Seandainya oh seandainya..

2. Never Fade by Alexandra Bracken
Buku pertamanya juga seru kok, tapi buku sequelnya lebih penuh action, terus adegan Ruby sama Liam di Walmart itu yang paling menyayat hati. Oh Liam ~

3. The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson
Aku tuh padahal udah diperingatin sebelum baca buku ini kalau bakalan ada scene yang mengagetkan, mengejutkan, menyebalkan, dan sebagainya dan sebagainya, tapi tetep aja persiapannya kurang. Don't worry, scenenya bagus kok, menyebalkan, tapi bagus.
