REBELLION IS FORGED IN THE HEART OF THE EMPIRE. Before they were torn
asunder, Laia lived happily and quietly with her Nan, Pop, and brother Darin
within the Scholar district of Martial-ruled Serra. Although Laia is afraid to
venture outside her home due to the heavy Martial presence, Darin loves to
explore all parts of their home city... even those that are forbidden. A chance
encounter with famed swordsmith Spiro Teluman, who sees in Darin a talent for
forging weapons, leads him down a path that pulls him away from his family but
towards hope for his people. While Laia is forced to take her brother's
place accompanying Pop to combat a dangerous illness spreading quickly through
Serra. When Laia discovers a surprising cure, will she brave exposure and the
heavily-patrolled streets so she can save the city and someone she loves? New
York Times bestselling author Sabaa Tahir joins writer Nicole Andelfinger and
artist Sonia Liao for an all-new original graphic novel revealing the life of
Laia and Darin in Serra before the tragedy that pulled them into the An Ember in
the Ashes mythology.
An all-new official standalone graphic novel prequel to the New York Times best-selling YA series An Ember in the Ashes novels from creator Sabaa Tahir!
