YA
Laia now finds herself as the face of the resistance; Elias learns to ferry souls as the Soul Catcher; and Helene embraces her role as Blood Shrike for a mad, young emperor. This third book centered on the Roman-esque Martial Empire (An Ember in the Ashes; A Torch Against the Night) features fantastical threats, political plotting, and the constant threats of war and oppression. Well-crafted and emotionally engaging.
