Bloomsbury Publishing has released the first 5 chapters of Queen of Shadows, the fourth novel in Sarah J. Maas’ Throne of Glass series! The epic fantasy quickly became a favorite in the Young Adult genre and after the shocking conclusion to its predecessor, Heir of Fire, fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter.
Without giving anything away, we’ll say that each chapter gives a quick update on the state of major players in the story, including Dorian, Celaena/Aelin, Chaol, and Aedion as they deal with the fallout from Heir of Fire and begin to make new plans of their own.

Everyone Celaena Sardothien loves has been taken from her. But she’s at last returned to the empire—for vengeance, to rescue her once-glorious kingdom, and to confront the shadows of her past . . .
She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die just to see her again. She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen’s triumphant return.
Celaena’s epic journey has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions across the globe. This fourth volume will hold readers rapt as Celaena’s story builds to a passionate, agonizing crescendo that might just shatter her world.
