It puts this entire castle in jeopardy ... and the life of your friend."
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. Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King's Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but her darkest demons lay in that same place. If she can overcome them, she will be Adarlan's biggest threat - and his own toughest enemy. While Celaena learns of her true destiny, and the eyes of Erilea are on Wendlyn, a brutal and beastly force is preparing to take to the skies. Will Celaena find the strength not only to win her own battles, but to fight a war that could pit her loyalties to her own people against those she has grown to love? This third novel in the Throne of Glass sequence, from New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas, is packed with more heart-stopping action, devastating drama and swoonsome romance, and introduces some fierce new heroines to love and hate. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Game of Thrones.
Ancora una volta nascosta sotto il suo manto da assassina, Celaena è tornata a Rithfold, ma non è più una schiava. Ora è Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, Regina di Terrasen. Tuttavia, prima di riprendere il trono che le spetta, dovrà ancora combattere: scavare tra i ricordi più dolorosi, battersi per la sopravvivenza e lottare contro una passione che potrebbe consumarla. E soprattutto si troverà nuovamente di fronte al suo vecchio padrone, il Re degli Assassini. Pronta a reclamare vendetta.
The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius as war looms on the horizon. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves at odds with those who don't. With her heart sworn to the warrior-prince by her side, and her fealty pledged to the people she is determined to save, Aelin will delve into the depths of her power to protect those she loves. But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, and dark forces become poised to claim her world, the only chance for salvation will lie in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin holds dear. In this breathtaking fifth installment of the New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series, Aelin will have to choose what—and who—to sacrifice if she's to keep the world of Erilea from breaking apart.
Chaol Westfall e Nesryn Faliq sono giunti nella sfolgorante città di Antica per stringere un’alleanza con il khagan del Continente meridionale: le sue possenti armate sono l’ultima speranza per l’Erilea. Ma questo non è il loro unico scopo: nella famosa Torre Cesme cercheranno una guaritrice che possa far tornare Chaol a camminare. Una come Yrene Towers, sopravvissuta agli orrori delle persecuzioni di Adarlan contro chi, come la sua famiglia, usava la magia per curare. Yrene non ha alcun desiderio di aiutare il giovane un tempo nemico. Tuttavia ha giurato di assistere chi ha bisogno, e onorerà la sua promessa. Stretti tra gli intrighi del khaganato, Chaol, Nesryn e Yrene stanno per ottenere le risposte di cui sono in cerca. Risposte che potrebbero salvare il loro mondo. O distruggerlo.
"Aelin Galathynius has vowed to save her people--but at a tremendous cost. Locked within an iron coffin by the Queen of the Fae, Aelin must draw upon her fiery will as she endures months of torture.

With Aelin captured, friends and allies are scattered to different fates. Some bonds will grow even deeper, while others will be severed forever. As destinies weave together at last, all must fight if Erilea is to have any hope of salvation"--Dust jacket flap.
