The Assassin and the Desert
Sarah J. Maas
Throne of Glass #0.3
Celaena Sardothien trains with the Silent Assassins of the Red Desert — if she survives long enough to learn anything.
Description
The Silent Assassins of the Red Desert aren't much for conversation, and Celaena Sardothien wouldn't have it any other way. She's not there to chatter, she's there to hone her craft as the world's most feared killer for hire. When the quiet is shattered by forces who want to destroy the Silent Assassins, Celaena must find a way to stop them, or she'll be lucky to leave the desert alive.
