"Discover where Celaena Sardothien's thrilling saga began
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 listeners a deeper look into the history of this cunning assassin and her enthralling—and deadly—world."

My Thoughts:
It was great to get the back story of Celaena before Throne of Glass. How those events shaped her into the person we meet. I loved Sam Cortland. And I hate how betrayed them. Seriously didn't see that coming.
Sarah did it again. Her writing is beautiful and enchants you from beginning to end. I believe this is a must in order to fully understand why Celaena acts the way she does.
I'd give this all the stars if I could. 5/5 stars!!! Happy Reading, Ashley.
