Occur a rich, great- about A Torch Against the Night fantasy world inspired by ancient Rome, Sabaa Tahir’s AN EMBER IN THE ASHES told the story of Laia, a slave fighting with each other for her family members, and Elias, a young soldier fighting with each other for his independence.
Now, in A TORCH AGAINST THE NIGHT TIME, Elias and Laia are running for their lives.
Following the events from the Fourth Trial, Martial soldiers hunt the two fugitives because they flee the town of Serra and undertake a perilous journey through the heart of the Empire.
Laia is set to break right into Kauf-the Empire’s most secure and harmful prison-to save her brother, who is the key to the Scholars’ survival. And Elias is set to greatly help Laia be successful, even if this means quitting his last possibility at freedom.
But dark forces, individual and otherworldly, work against Laia and Elias. The pair must battle every stage of the way to outsmart their foes: the bloodthirsty Emperor Marcus, the merciless Commandant, the sadistic Warden of Kauf, and, most heartbreaking of most, Helene-Elias’s previous friend as well as the Empire’s newest Bloodstream Shrike.
Bound to Marcus’s can, Helene faces a torturous mission of her own-one that might destroy her: get the traitor Elias Veturius and the Scholar slave who helped him get away…and kill them both.
