Product Information

Chaol gets Celaena chocolate cake. This is an important detail. Also, there’s a threat to Nehemia’s life and the king is a little threatened by her as well, but Chaol doesn’t tell Celaena about this because he doesn’t want the king to question where his loyalties lie. She grabbed Chaol´s arm as they drew near the tea court. "If you walk up looking like you´re going to pummel someone," she crooned, linking her elbow through his, "then he´ll certainly know something is amiss. And, again, do not say anything to him. Leave the talking and charming to me." Celaena and Nehemia are BFFs. They discuss the rebellion, and Nehemia promises to teach Celaena how to use Wyrdmarks. The King tells Celaena to kill Archer Finn, a courtesan she used to know from her time with Arobynn Hamel, because the King thinks there’s a secret movement against him (spoiler alert: he’s right). Celaena asks for more time, so she can get information from Archer about this movement. Because of its grotesquely misshapen head, it looked as if it was trying to do some kind of yoga headstand.

Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from even her most intimate confidantes. Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become the King's Champion. But she is far from loyal to the crown. Though she goes to great lengths to hide her secret, her deadly charade becomes more difficult when she realises she is not the only one seeking justice. Her search for answers ensnares those closest to her, and no one is safe from suspicion - not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a princess with a rebel heart. When Celaena arrives to rescue Chaol, she discovers Archer is behind the capture. Archer says they kidnapped Chaol because they thought he was set to question Nehemia Ytger about her involvement in the rebel movement.

Archer says they now realize that it’s the king who will question Nehemia very soon, and he thinks they will torture and maybe even kill her. He says Chaol knew this might happen and could have prevented it. Celaena believes this even though it is only partially true.
