About this listen
Set in a terrifyingly brutal Rome-like world, An Ember in the Ashes is an epic fantasy debut about an orphan fighting for her family and a soldier fighting for his freedom. It's a story that's literally burning to be told.
What if you were the spark that could ignite a revolution? For years Laia has lived in fear. Fear of the Empire, fear of the Martials, fear of truly living at all. Born as a Scholar, she's never had much of a choice.
For Elias it's the opposite. He has seen too much on his path to becoming a Mask, one of the Empire's elite soldiers. With the Masks' help the Empire has conquered a continent and enslaved thousands, all in the name of power.
When Laia's brother is taken she must force herself to help the Resistance, the only people who have a chance of saving him. She must spy on the Commandant, ruthless overseer of Blackcliff Academy. Blackcliff is the training ground for Masks and the very place that Elias is planning to escape. If he succeeds, he will be named deserter. If found, the punishment will be death.
But once Laia and Elias meet, they will find that their destinies are intertwined and that their choices will change the fate of the Empire itself.
In the ashes of a broken world one person can make a difference. One voice in the dark can be heard. The price of freedom is always high, and this time that price might demand everything, even life itself.

An ember in the ashes
A very well written and thurraly enjoyable start to the serise. The character are superb as is the story. having 2 narrators was a good mix, switching between them was easy to follow.
The plot wasn't that predictable, I'm looking forward to the next instalment.

Amazing
I couldn't tear myself away from this book. It gradually evolves to entwine character's stories around one another and leads to a thrilling conclusion. So many questions set up for a sequel I'm about to download now. Highly recommended.

Brilliant
I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy this book but I ended up being unable to turn it off, just need to see what happens next. I am really looking forward to the rest of the series, the first book was brilliant.

Truely FANTASTIC I honestly cant find the words.
I cant actually find anything to compare its brilliance to. The book says ancient Rome but I dint really get that same vibe. I found myself takeb back to Nazi Germany.
A bloody good book
