There, Laia meets Elias, the school's best soldier and, secretly, its most resentfulElias wants nothing more than to be free of the dictatorship he's been educated to enforceHe and Laia will soon understand that their fates are connected, and that their choices will change the Empire's fateFrom the Hardcover version
