Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.

Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. 
Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined."
