Release Date: 4 March 2014
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

My Review 5 STARS
This book has 5 short novellas to introduce us into the Throne of Glass Series and to Celaena's past before we dig into the first book.
These stories give us a glimpse of what type of character she is and some of the things she has been through in order to be who she is and where she is at the beginning of the book.
I really recommend reading this book first to help give you a better context at some of the people mentioned and why Celaena is as strong as she is.
I really enjoyed these stories and am really looking forward to reading this series.
