BOOK ONE IN THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • One of Time Magazine's 100 Best Fantasy and 100 Best YA Books of All Time • People's Choice Award winner • Bustle's Best Young Adult Book
"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
The beloved and bestselling fantasy series that "glows, burns, and smolders." (Huffington Post).
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.

The whole series got me like few other books. The characters feel so real and authentic, their development is beautifully written. There is no real spice, but so much passion in many different ways. The worldbuilding in general is top notch.
Prepare for all the emotions and some jaw-dropping moments. This is one of the best examples of duty vs. loyalty; head vs. heart.
A Great Start to the Series!

Laias world is turned upside down when Imperial Masks brutally murder her grandparents and arrest her brother for treason. In a quest to save him, she joins the resistance, who order her to spy on the brutal Commandant of Blackcliff Academy. Elias, on the other hand, is a student at the academy, excelling with his ruthlesness. But deep down he harbours a hatred for the academy and the empire and everything it stands for. I've lost myself in the worldbuilding with magical Jinns, Efriths and the mysterious Augurs. Laia and Elias are also well thought-out characters that are faced with tragedy but endure nontheless. I'm really excited to see where this series is going!
