Queen of Shadows

Celaena Sardothien is gone. In her place, Aelin Ashryver Galathynius — the lost heir of Terrasen — returns to Adarlan’s capital with a plan to dismantle the king’s machine from the inside. Old allies are waiting. Old enemies are, too.

Queen of Shadows is where the series stops fighting off the past and starts swinging at it. Aelin, Chaol, Dorian, Manon, and Rowan all end the book in very different places than they began — and the pieces are now in position for the war that consumes the final three volumes.
