THE ASTONISHING SEQUEL TO THE INSTANTÂ NEW YORK TIMESÂ BESTSELLER,Â AN EMBER IN THE ASHES

"Most Spectacular Sequel"Â --Â Entertainment WeeklyÂ Summer 2016 Must List

"Even higher stakes than its predecessorâ€¦ thrilling..."Â â€”Publishers Weekly, starred review

â€œ[An] action-packed, breathlessly paced story.â€ â€”Booklist, starred review

"Excellent." â€”Kirkus Reviews

Elias and Laia are running for their lives.

Following the events of the Fourth Trial, an army led by Masks hunts the two fugitives as they escape the city of Serra and journey across the vast lands of the Martial Empire.
Â
Laia is determined to break into Kaufâ€”the Empireâ€™s most secure and dangerous prisonâ€”and save her brother, whose knowledge of Serric steel is the key to the Scholars' future. And Elias is determined to stay by Laiaâ€™s side...even if it means giving up his own chance at freedom.
Â
But Elias and Laia will have to fight every step of the way if theyâ€™re going to outsmart their enemies: the bloodthirsty Emperor Marcus, the merciless Commandant, the sadistic Warden of Kauf, and, most heartbreaking of all, Heleneâ€”Eliasâ€™s former friend and the Empireâ€™s newest Blood Shrike.

Heleneâ€™s mission is horrifying, unwanted, and clear: find the traitor Elias Veturius and the Scholar slave who helped him escape...and kill them both.

Praise for An Ember in the Ashes:

â€œThis novel is a harrowing, haunting reminder of what it means to be human â€” and how hope might be kindled in the midst of oppression and fear.â€Â â€”Â The Washington Post

â€œAn Ember in the AshesÂ could launch Sabaa Tahir into JK Rowling territoryâ€¦It has the addictive quality ofÂ TheÂ Hunger GamesÂ combined with the fantasy ofÂ Harry PotterÂ and the brutality ofÂ Game of Thrones.â€â€”Public Radio International

"An Ember in the AshesÂ glows, burns, and smoldersâ€”as beautiful and radiant as it is searing."â€”Huffington PostÂ

â€œ[An Ember in the Ashes] thrusts its readers into a world marred by violence and oppression, yet does so with simple prose that can offer moments of loveliness in its clarity. This complexity makesÂ EmberÂ a worthy novelâ€”andÂ one as brave as its characters.â€ â€”The New York Times Book ReviewÂ
