"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted
over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly
anticipating.
This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...
An Ember in the Ashes
Publication Date: April 28, 2015
Hardcover,
464pages, Razorbill
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult
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.
LAIA is a Scholar living under
the iron-fisted rule of the Martial Empire. When her brother is arrested for
treason, Laia goes undercover as a slave at the empire’s greatest military
academy in exchange for assistance from rebel Scholars who claim that they will
help to save her brother from execution.
ELIAS is the academy’s finest
soldier— and secretly, its most unwilling. Elias is considering deserting the
military, but before he can, he’s ordered to participate in a ruthless contest
to choose the next Martial emperor.
When Laia and Elias’s paths cross
at the academy, they find that their destinies are more intertwined than either
could have imagined and that their choices will change the future of the empire
itself.
