LAIA is a Scholar living under the iron-fisted rule of the Martial Empire. When her brother is arrested for treason, Laia goes undercover as a slave at the empire's greatest military academy in exchange for assistance from rebel Scholars who claim that they will help to save her brother from execution.
ELIAS is the academy's finest soldier-- and secretly, its most unwilling. Elias is considering deserting the military, but before he can, he's ordered to participate in a ruthless contest to choose the next Martial emperor.
When Laia and Elias's paths cross at the academy, they find that their destinies are more intertwined than either could have imagined and that their choices will change the future of the empire itself.
"Vow your blood and body to the empire.
Keep your heart for yourself."

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express
Firru . a dat nota:
So, I enjoyed pretty much everything about this book. I liked the varied cast of characters and that Laia wasn't a typical badass heroine but a scared girl going against her every instinct to save her brother. I loved the use of prophecies and the way Elias has to try and understand what they mean in order to do the right thing. I loved the Augurs - a bunch of hooded holy men who claim to deliver prophecies. Such a great read and I can see people eating it up and being desperate for more.

BUSTLE'S BEST YOUNG ADULT BOOK OF 2015
This novel is a harrowing, haunting reminder of what it means to be human and how hope might be kindled in the midst of oppression and fear. "The Washington Post
"
"An Ember in the Ashes"could launch Sabaa Tahir into JK Rowling territory It has the addictive quality of"TheHunger Games"combined with the fantasy of"Harry Potter"and the brutality of"Game of Thrones." Public Radio International
""An Ember in the Ashes"glows, burns, and smolders as beautiful and radiant as it is searing." "Huffington Post"""
A worthy novel and one as brave as its characters. "The New York Times Book Review"
A deft, polished debut ("Publishers Weekly," starred review), Sabaa Tahir s AN EMBER IN THE ASHES is a thought-provoking, heart-wrenching and pulse-pounding read. Set in a rich, high-fantasy world with echoes of ancient Rome, it tells the story of a slave fighting for her family and a young soldier fighting for his freedom.
Laia is a slave.Elias is a soldier.Neither is free.
Under the Martial Empire, defiance is met with death. Those who do not vow their blood and bodies to the Emperor risk the execution of their loved ones and the destruction of all they hold dear.
It is in this brutal world, inspired by ancient Rome, that Laia lives with her grandparents and older brother. The family ekes out an existence in the Empire s impoverished backstreets. They do not challenge the Empire. They ve seen what happens to those who do.
But when Laia s brother is arrested for treason, Laia is forced to make a decision. In exchange for help from rebels who promise to rescue her brother, she will risk her life to spy for them from within the Empire s greatest military academy.
There, Laia meets Elias, the school s finest soldier and secretly, its most unwilling. Elias wants only to be free of the tyranny he s being trained to enforce. He and Laia will soon realize that their destinies are intertwined and that their choices will change the fate of the Empire itself."
Recenzii
"Tahir's deft, polished debut alternates between two very different perspectives on the same brutal world, deepening both in the contrast.

"I was so engrossed with this book that I missed a connecting flight. If that doesn't convince you to read "An Ember in the Ashes," I don't know what will. An explosive, heartbreaking, epic debut that will keep you glued to the pages. I hope the world's ready for Sabaa Tahir." -Marie Lu, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Legend"
""An Ember in the Ashes" is a spectacular page turner that asks readers to consider how far they'd go to save the ones they love.

"A heart-pounding story of love and loss, with the most original world-building I've read all year. Deeply felt and deeply moving, I could not put it down." -Margaret Stohl, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Beautiful Creatures"
