Annotation: In The Assassin and the Pirate Lord, Celaena is only a sixteen-years-old and is being sent on a mission to collect a debt from the Pirate Lord Rolfe.
Book Talk: Are assassins defiant? Celaena isn’t. She is well trained and follows every rule of her master, King Arobynn, king of the assassins.
Celaena is about to embark on a mission to Skull’s Bay, home to the Lord of the Pirates, Captain Rolfe. Her mission is to collect what the Pirate Lord owes King Arobynn for the loss of his men. But when Celaena arrives, she learns that payment is to be made in slaves not money.
What will Celaena do? She does not agree with this brutish payment. Will she collect the slaves for Arobynn as he is ordered? Or will Celaena be defiant?
