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.

Sequel continues fast paced series submitted by steveiew on June 19, 2018, 9:28am Often times the second book in a series is the worst, but that isn't the case with this series. A Torch Against The Night continues the fast pace and unexpected turns of An Ember in the Ashes. We get to see the story from Helene's point of view, which is very well done. The sequel also introduces more elements of magic and explains some of the hinted at magic in the first book. Overall, a great read.
