About this listen
The sequel to the explosive New York Times best-selling debut, An Ember in the Ashes, that's captivated readers worldwide.
A Torch Against the Night takes listeners 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.

"The writing is as smooth as silk and keeps one reading long after the lights should have been out." (Robin Hobb)
"With An Ember in the Ashes, Sabaa Tahir shows us light in darkness, hope in a world of despair, and the human spirit reaching for greatness in difficult times." (Brandon Sanderson, number one New York Times best-selling author)
"I fell in love with Laia and Elias from the moment we met. This is a story you'll read with your heart in your throat." (Lauren DeStefano, New York Times best-selling author)
"A heart-pounding story of love and loss, with the most original world-building I've read all year. Deeply felt and deeply moving, I could not put it down." (Margaret Stohl, New York Times best-selling author of Beautiful Creatures)
"This electric debut is a pulse-pounding, action-packed Romeo and Juliet story in a richly imagined world with a great twist and heroic characters you'll root for and won't stop thinking about." (Melissa de la Cruz, New York Times best-selling author of Frozen and The Ring and the Crown)
" An Ember in the Ashes is a spectacular page turner that asks readers to consider how far they'd go to save the ones they love. Sabaa Tahir is the next superstar in young adult fiction and her debut is as cinematic as Gladiator and as high-stakes as Game of Thrones." (Holly Goldberg Sloan, New York Times best-selling author of Counting by 7s) and I'll Be There)

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!
