About this listen

The highly anticipated third book in Sabaa Tahir's New York Times bestselling Ember Quartet.

Beyond the Empire and within it, the threat of war looms ever larger.

The Blood Shrike, Helene Aquilla, is assailed on all sides. Emperor Marcus, haunted by his past, grows increasingly unstable, while the Commandant capitalizes on his madness to bolster her own power. As Helene searches for a way to hold back the approaching darkness, her sister's life and the lives of all those in the Empire hang in the balance.

Far to the east, Laia of Serra knows the fate of the world lies not in the machinations of the Martial court, but in stopping the Nightbringer. But while hunting for a way to bring him down, Laia faces unexpected threats from those she hoped would aid her, and is drawn into a battle she never thought she'd have to fight.

And in the land between the living and the dead, Elias Veturius has given up his freedom to serve as Soul Catcher. But in doing so, he has vowed himself to an ancient power that will stop at nothing to ensure Elias's devotion – even at the cost of his humanity.

This book has so much heart and soul.
It is such a well written YA book, with depth of characters, intrigue and scope. Usually by the 3rd book I am struggling to keep interest in a story but Sabaa has managed to keep me captivated and the next one I am sure will be mind blowing.

The story just gets better and better

That’s ok Sabaa, I don’t need my heart or soul anymore...

I am so invested in these characters, this brutal world and this series in general. Sabaa is a goddess of creation.

I don’t have any dislikes of this book, besides how much it HURT.

Epic, heartbreaking, capturing

Pretty good storyline but some of the characters (i.e. the Blood Shrike) are so dumb!

Noot Too Bad
