About this listen
‘Tahir spins a captivating, heart-pounding fantasy’ – Us Weekly
The sequel to the explosive New York Times bestselling debut An Ember in the Ashes, that’s captivated readers worldwide.
A Torch Against the Night takes readers into the heart of the Empire as Laia and Elias fight their way north to liberate Laia’s brother from the horrors of Kauf Prison. Hunted by Empire soldiers, manipulated by the Commandant, and haunted by their pasts, Laia and Elias must outfox their enemies and confront the treacherousness of their own hearts.
In the city of Serra, Helene Aquilla finds herself bound to the will of the Empire’s twisted new leader, Marcus. When her loyalty is questioned, Helene finds herself taking on a mission to prove herself — a mission that might destroy her, instead.

A gripping and wonderful adventure
Most books lose steam during the second of a series, but this adventure only continues at a wonderful pace. Thoroughly enjoyed

Not a Bad Read
Series started well but some of the characters (i.e. the Blood Shrike) are so dumb!

Great YA
I listened to Ember in the ashes and liked the story line. My first audiobook recommended in a Facebook Audiobooks group. The voices were great and I enjoyed the mix of people and creatures. Great story for YA

Great story
Grata story, I really enjoy all the characters but the narrator mis-pronounced the word “says” all throughout!
