Book Review 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.
