Giveaway: An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

I've talked about Sabaa Tahir's debut on the blog before, but, in case you've forgotten, this book needs to be on your to-read list. It's a stand alone fantasy novel, which, as any avid YA reader knows, is pretty amazing. It's near impossible to find standalone YA, not to mention standalone YA that can offers a compelling world and full-fleshed characters. This one doesn't hit shelves until April, so now's your chance to win an early copy!

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.

Vow your blood and body to the empire.

Keep your heart for yourself.
