About this ebook

‘Tahir spins a captivating, heart-pounding fantasy’ – Us Weekly

The sequel to the explosive New York Times bestselling debut An Ember in the Ashes, that’s captivated readers worldwide.

A Torch Against the Night takes readers into the heart of the Empire as Laia and Elias fight their way north to liberate Laia’s brother from the horrors of Kauf Prison. Hunted by Empire soldiers, manipulated by the Commandant, and haunted by their pasts, Laia and Elias must outfox their enemies and confront the treacherousness of their own hearts.

In the city of Serra, Helene Aquilla finds herself bound to the will of the Empire’s twisted new leader, Marcus. When her loyalty is questioned, Helene finds herself taking on a mission to prove herself — a mission that might destroy her, instead.

This is basically a series of unfortunate events, but for adults. It draws you in, then repeatedly abuses you, but you can't stop reading because surely SOMETHING good will happen. Spoiler: it won't. It'll get worse. You'll love-hate it.

This one's is better than the first book. It has tons of action, shocking turn of events, secrets to be revealed, hard choices to be made and kind of has a lot of violence in it. This book explores deeper parts of human nature and how sometimes according to the situations you feel angry with the character or share pity and sympathy or even laugh with them. The plot progress is amazing and Helene's POV is a real good add-on to the book. Every page will fill you with a lot of interest and leave you eager to read the next book!
