‘Tahir spins a captivating, heart-pounding fantasy’ – Us Weekly
Read the explosive New York Times bestselling debut that’s captivated readers worldwide. Set to be a major motion picture, An Ember in the Ashes is the book everyone is talking about.
What if you were the spark that could ignite a revolution?
For years Laia has lived in fear. Fear of the Empire, fear of the Martials, fear of truly living at all. Born as a Scholar, she’s never had much of a choice.
For Elias it’s the opposite. He has seen too much on his path to becoming a Mask, one of the Empire’s elite soldiers. With the Masks’ help the Empire has conquered a continent and enslaved thousands of Scholars, all in the name of power.
When Laia’s brother is taken she must force herself to help the Resistance, the only people who have a chance of saving him. She must spy on the Commandant, ruthless overseer of Blackcliff Academy. Blackcliff is the training ground for Masks and the very place that Elias is planning to escape. If he succeeds, he will be named deserter. If found, the punishment will be death.
But once Laia and Elias meet, they find that their destinies are intertwined and that their choices will change the fate of the Empire.
In the ashes of a broken world one person can make a difference. One voice in the dark can be heard. The price of freedom is always high and this time that price might demand everything, even life itself.

En av de beste bøkene jeg har lest. Er helt hooked! Om du liker fantasy og kanskje litt sånn middelalder/sparta/kriger vibes greie så er denne boken perfekt for deg! Også om du liker spennende bøker og litt romanse. Den balanserer alt veldig bra så er ikke for mye romanse eller for mye av noe egentlig. Er en veldig spennende bok som er vanskelig å legge fra seg. Jeg bare må begynne å lese bok nr 2 med en gang

Overraskende spennende! Klarer omtrent ikke å skru av. God innleser. Absolutt en serie og bok som er verdt å få med seg.

Veldig bra fantasy. Kvinnen som leser overspiller en del så det ødelegger litt, men ellers er de bra.

Love, love, love the concept, the story and the two readers! Withe two readers it's simple to follow the storyline of the main characters. The story has begun and I will follow it to the end, will you?
