Elias and Laia are running for their lives.

After the events of the Fourth Trial, Martial soldiers hunt the two fugitives as they flee the city of Serra and undertake a perilous journey through the heart of the Empire.
 
Laia is determined to break into Kauf--the Empire's most secure and dangerous prison--to save her brother, who is the key to the Scholars' survival. And Elias is determined to help Laia succeed, even if it means giving up his last chance at freedom.
 
But dark forces, human and otherworldly, work against Laia and Elias. The pair must fight every step of the way to outsmart their enemies: the bloodthirsty Emperor Marcus, the merciless Commandant, the sadistic Warden of Kauf, and, most heartbreaking of all, Helene--Elias's former friend and the Empire's newest Blood Shrike.

Bound to Marcus's will, Helene faces a torturous mission of her own--one that might destroy her: find the traitor Elias Veturius and the Scholar slave who helped him escape...and kill them both.

Sabaa Tahir is the book of the Ember in the Ashes trilogy, which has been translated into over thirty-five languages and is the #1 New York Times bestselling author. Her family owned an eighteen-room motel in California's Mojave Desert, where she grew up. She spent her time there reading fantasy novels, raiding her brother's comic book collection, and attempting to play the guitar horribly. While working nights as a newspaper editor, she began composing An Ember in the Ashes. She enjoys loud indie rock, colorful socks, and all things nerdy.
