The Assassin's Blade (Throne of Glass, #0.1-0.5) by Sarah J. Maas digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

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.

Included in this volume:

The Assassin and the Pirate Lord
The Assassin and the Healer
The Assassin and the Desert
The Assassin and the Underworld
The Assassin and the Empire

Thumbs Up“4.5 love sammy sam 🥺 also- love how these characters come back in the later books reread: 5/5 bc this hit me way harder than the first time. really felt the love and devastation around sam this time around. i love this series so much it’s absolutely sickening!”
Surprised Face with Open Mouth““My name is Sam Cortland and I will not be afraid.” BYEEEE I loved this book, I loved Celaena and Sam and everything (except for the you know what part, I’m still recovering) I didn’t expect at all to be emotional and so invested.”
Surprised Face with Open Mouth“It was recommended I read this first and it WAS good, I wanted better. I like the complex relationships but I didn’t like how the greatest assassin is only a teenager and fell for every trap…Hoping that TOG is slightly better though.”
Surprised Face with Open Mouth“This is my second time reading this one. I realized more reading it the second time. I am glad that I read this first before Throne of Glass because it really laid the groundwork for what is going to happen moving forward”
