Nevernight is the first book in the series, following the rise of Mia Corvere as she stabs her way into a religious institution set on training the most masterful of assassins. I have never read a Jay Kristoff work before now and wow am I feeling a lot of emotions here.
Sam and Celaena have finally gotten away from Arobynn, but The Assassin and the Empire shows that their troubles are very far from gone. Will Celaena be able to pull them out of this one? Not really.
In the fourth novella, we see Celaena put in a rough position as she needs to decide what she truly wants while also trying to break free of Arobynn’s hold on her. Faced with the slave trade once again, Celaena and Sam team up once more to see if they can solve her problems together.
Celaena is on her trek through the desert to meet with the Mute Master and gain his approval or be disowned by Arobynn back in Rifthold. Put in close quarters with strangers for the first time in a long time, Celaena needs to learn what she really wants.
After having returned to Arobynn and revealed that she freed 200 slaves, a beaten and bruised Celaena has been banished to train with The Mute Master in the Red Desert. On her way there, she stops in a hellish hovel of a town called Innish where she meets an interesting young healer.
Arobynn's best are charged with doing business with Pirate Lord, Captain Rolfe, and end up in a situation neither of them particularly likes... The slave trade.
