Description:- Tower of Dawn (Throne of Glass) Chaol Westfall has always defined himself by his unwavering loyalty, his strength, and his position as the Captain of the Guard.

As the kingdoms of Erilea fracture around her, enemies must become allies if Aelin is to keep those she loves from falling to the dark forces poised to claim her world.

She has accepted her identity as Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen. Heir of Fire: 3 (Throne of Glass) Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien's only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan's Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king lies in answers to be found in Wendlyn. Crown of Midnight: 2 (Throne of Glass) Eighteen-year-old Celaena Sardothien is bold, daring and beautiful - the perfect seductress and the greatest assassin her world has ever known. But though she won the King's contest and became his champion, Celaena has been granted neither her liberty nor the freedom to follow her heart.
