A Flame Among the Ashes (434 pp.)
Laia is a slave. Elias is a soldier. Neither of them is free.
Laia lives with her grandparents and older brother in a brutal world ruled by the dictatorial Martial Empire. They don't defy the Empire, having seen what happens to those who dare. But when Laia's brother is arrested on charges of treason, she is forced to take action. In exchange for help from rebels who promise to rescue her brother, she will risk her own life to act as a spy inside the Empire's military academy.
There, Laia meets Elias, the academy's finest soldier—and, secretly, its most reluctant. What Elias desires most is freedom from the tyranny he's been trained to wield. Soon, he and Laia realize that their lives are intertwined—and that their choices could forever change the fate of the Empire itself.
