Synopsis
Aelin Galathynius — formerly known as Celaena Sardothien, the truth of her identity now acknowledged — travels to Wendlyn on a mission that is, on the surface, an assassination job. What the king doesn't know is that Wendlyn is also where Rowan Whitethorn lives, an ancient Fae warrior who serves the Fae queen Maeve, and who has been tasked with training Aelin in the raw, barely controlled magic she has spent years suppressing. Their training is brutal, their early relationship a sustained antagonism, but through it Aelin begins to claim the fire and power she was born with. Back in Adarlan, Chaol Westfall risks everything to support a rebel movement, and Dorian Havilliard struggles to hide his growing magic from his murderous father. Heir of Fire is the point at which the Throne of Glass series transforms from a court-centred story into an epic fantasy — expanding the cast, the geography, and the scale of the war to come.
