Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
The King’s Champion was Celaena Sardothien, who prevailed in a gruelling competition. But she is not at all committed to the throne. She goes to tremendous measures to keep her secret hidden, but when she finds she is not the only one seeking retribution, her deadly masquerade becomes more challenging. No one is safe from suspicion as a result of her quest for answers, not even her best friend Nehemia, a princess with a rebellious heart, the Crown Prince Dorian, the Captain of the Guard, or Chaol.

The secrets they have all been harbouring eventually result in an unimaginable disaster one terrible night. Celaena will have to determine once and for all where her true loyalties lie and what she is ready to fight for as her world falls apart. Readers are transported back to a country devastated by lies in the second instalment where one woman’s truth is the only thing that can rescue them all.
The king’s Champion, Celaena Sardothien, is far from being obedient to the throne because the person she serves is driven by evil. However, operating clandestinely against her employer is no simple feat. No one can be trusted as Celaena attempts to unravel the mysteries of the glass castle, not even her purported allies Crown Prince Dorian, Captain of the Guard Chaol, or foreign princess Nehemia. Then, Celaena’s world is shattered by an unimaginable catastrophe. She must make a final decision regarding her allegiances, as well as who she will stand up for.
Celaena was initially more involved in the king’s service in Crown of Midnight. The King is now using her to defeat his adversaries, having finally achieved the status of King’s Champion in Throne of Glass. Calaena finds herself in a difficult situation despite the fact that she is an actual assassin. The King vowed to kill Chaol, Nehemia, and their families if Calaena doesn’t live up to his expectations, but she is aware that he is a wicked man who will probably use her to promote his efforts to rule the globe rather than for justice. She must fight back in whatever way she can, but doing so requires great caution. Since this puts her pals at risk as well, it follows that they are also in the dark.
Calaena’s closest friend is Nehemia. She is a princess whose country the King has just seized. And she is desperate to take any action she can to free her people—not just her people, but everyone who is subject to the King. She has no qualms about telling Calaena the difficult things that must be said. That demonstrates a true best buddy. Even though you don’t always agree with what they have to say, listening to them is always in your best interest. Salute and bear hugs to Nehemia.
