(The complex friendship between these two formidable women is a particular treasure.) Meanwhile, Celaena unravels the mystery of Adarlan’s sudden strength, a magical subplot that intersects with Dorian’s dangerous self-exploration. Secrets damage her nuanced relationships with Chaol and Nehemia. Plotting Archer’s escape, Celaena takes the opportunity to make him her personal informant about the rebellion, which Celaena hopes will help her infer the king’s plans-plans she is thoroughly conflicted about challenging, for as much as she hates the king, she thinks opposing him would only get her killed. When the king uncovers traitors in the city, the first name on his hit list is Archer Finn, a popular courtesan and Celaena’s old friend. However, she can’t stomach advancing his agenda, especially if it means murdering innocents in cold blood. If the king catches Celaena disobeying his orders, he will execute her closest friends. After being named the King’s Champion in Throne of Glass (2012), Celaena Sardothien serves as the king of Adarlan’s personal assassin-at least, she pretends to-in a densely plotted sequel.
