Description

Tower of Dawn is the sixth book in the Throne of Glass series. Though originally intended as a novella, Sarah J. Maas adored the project so much that she expanded the length to a novel.
 
In the next installment of the New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series, follow Chaol on his sweeping journey to a distant empire.
 
This is a “parallel novel” in the excellent “Throne of Glass” fantasy series. This book focuses on a mission to Antica, capital of the Southern Continent, undertaken by Chaol Westfall and Nesryn Faliq. Their main goal is to gain military assistance for the struggle in the North. Their pursuit takes on increasing urgency when they discover evidence that the forces of evil – the Valg, led by Erawan – have already infiltrated Antica.


Chaol, 23, has a second goal besides that of convincing the Khagan and his heirs to lend their armies to help fight Erawan. Chaol is now paralyzed from the waist down and in a wheelchair. He would like to get the services of one of the renowned healers of Antica – home of the finest mortal doctors in the world, who possess magic and who, he hoped, could help him walk again.
 
Yrene Towers, 21, is the healer assigned to Chaol; she is one of the best, and in fact is the Heir Apparent to be named Healer on High. At first Yrene resents Chaol, because it was soldiers from his country of Adarlan who burned her mother alive. But she discovers that Chaol, in spite of his government position, is not at all the same as the men she hates.
 
Chaol Westfall has always defined himself by his unwavering loyalty, his strength, and his position as the Captain of the Guard. But all of that has changed since Aelin shattered the glass castle, since Chaol’s men were slaughtered, since the King of Adarlan spared him from a killing blow, but left his body broken.
 
Now he and Nesryn sail for Antica – the stronghold of the southern continent’s mighty empire and of the legendary healers of the Torre Cesme. It’s Chaol’s one shot at recovery, and with war looming back home, Dorian and Aelin’s survival could depend on Chaol and Nesryn convincing Antica’s rulers to ally with them.
 
Chaol Westfall and Nesryn Faliq have arrived in the shining city of Antica to forge an alliance with the Khagan of the Southern Continent, whose vast armies are Erilea’s last hope. But they have also come to Antica for another purpose: to seek healing at the famed Torre Cesme for the wounds Chaol received in Rifthold.
 
After enduring unspeakable horrors as a child, Yrene Towers has no desire to help the young lord from Adarlan, let alone heal him. Yet she has sworn an oath to assist those in need—and will honor it. But Lord Westfall carries shadows from his own past, and Yrene soon comes to realize they could engulf them both. But what they discover there will change them both – and be more vital to saving Erilea than they could have imagined.
 
In this sweeping parallel novel to the New York Times bestselling Empire of Storms, Chaol, Nesryn, and Yrene will have to draw on every scrap of their resilience if they wish to save their friends. But while they become entangled in the political webs of the khaganate, deep in the shadows of mighty mountains where warriors soar on legendary ruks, long-awaited answers slumber. Answers that might offer their world a chance at survival—or doom them all . . .
 
In short, during their battle with the evil king of Adarlan, Chaol gets deeply wounded on his spine which leaves him crippled. Even Rowan’s magic couldn’t heal him completely. So together with Nesryn, Chaol sets on a journey to southern continent to find the gifted healers in Torre Cesme but it wasn’t their only mission, they need to forge an alliance with the khagan of the southern continent and bring an army to Erilea to join the fight against Erawan.
 
Yrene Towers is a gifted healer who nearly completed her two year term in Torre Cesme and wants to return to Fenharrow to help her people but when she was asked to assist a man who served under a ruthless king who killed many people including her mother, she was reluctant to assist him but she doesn’t have other choice because it’s her last test before she leaves for Fenharrow.
 
When Yrene starts Chaol’s treatment, she realizes that he wasn’t what she had expected him to be and she starts to care for him. During their healing process, they discover vital information from his injury that leads to shocking secrets that could turn the tide of the war. On the other hand, Nesyrn and prince Sartaq flies off to an adventure to find some answers about the new dark threat in their kingdom and they discover hidden truths that will change everything.
 
Maas’ exploration of Choal’s experience, and of the attitudes of those around him, in addition to her exploration of Nesryn’s experience as a visual minority in Adarlan, brings some much needed attention to the negative attitudes of those around them. Attitudes and beliefs which we see reflected in our own society. And Maas challenges these negative, ableist and racist beliefs by highlighting just how problematic they are through her exploration of two characters’ lived experiences in the face of such discrimination.
 
Finally, Maas wrote not one, but two beautiful romances in Tower of Dawn. These romances, like Aelin and Rowan Whitethorn’s relationship, grow out of journey’s of self-discovery, partnership and equality, wherein both partners in the relationship are equally committed partners.
 
Overall, Tower of Dawn was a tale of self-discovery and healing, not only for Choal, but also for Nesryn. Both learned much about themselves, and who they are as individuals, and in doing so, forged a new path for themselves. A path which reflects their needs and wants as individuals, rather than the needs and wants imposed upon them by those around them, or by society as a whole.
 
While Nesryn continues to challenge gender norms, Choal challenges the reader to reconsider their notions of ability. And throughout the journey, Maas challenges the reader to reflect upon their own biases and beliefs, by emerging us in a world so diverse and new that the reader has no choice but the confront some hard truths. Add romance, deception and Maas’ typically complex story line, weaved together with elements from the rest of the sprawling Thron of Glass series, and Tower of Dawn is undoubtedly among Maas’ best work.
