About this ebook

'One of the best fantasy book series of the past decade' TIME

No masters. No limits. No regrets.

Aelin Galathynius takes her place as queen in the fourth book of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.

Celaena Sardothien has embraced her identity as Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen. But before she can reclaim her throne, she must fight.

She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die for her. She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen's triumphant return.

Everyone Aelin loves has been taken from her. Everything she holds dear is in danger. But she has the heart of a queen - and that heart beats for vengeance.

In this fourth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series, no one will escape the queen's wrath.

Ratings and reviews

I am concerned for the future of young females everywhere. When they are given such shallow, narcissistic and selfish female characters as Maas's Aelin.

How Does She (SJM) Do It? These Books Just Keep Getting Better & Better! Usually there's at least 1 book which isn't quite up to the same standard as the rest in a series, but I swear I love each book more & more. I think this one is my favourite by far for so many reasons. The characters feel like old friends I've had for years & years & with each book you not only have characters developing but their relationships deepening too. We're growing with Celaena / Aelin, Dorian, Chaol, Rowan, Lysandra, Rowan, Aedion, Nesryn, Manon, Abraxos & The Thirteen & as they develop & grow so does our love of these incredible complex characters. What I truly love about the way these characters are written is : They are real! Just like you & me, they have flaws, they make mistakes, sometimes pushing the line / boundary, they fight for love, freedom & honor, no matter the cost. They go so far as to save a rival or enemy.

One of the best reads of my long life. My daughter recommended it to me. All characters are clear and vivid, and the twists and turns were riveting. Thank you Sarah J Maas for the high spots and the tears.
