Under the Martial Empire, defiance is met with death. Those who do not vow their blood and bodies to the Emperor risk the execution of their loved ones and the destruction of all they hold dear. It is in this brutal world, inspired by ancient Rome, that Laia lives with her grandparents and older brother. The family ekes out an existence in the Empireโs impoverished backstreets. They do not challenge the Empire. Theyโve seen what happens to those who do. But when Laiaโs brother is arrested for treason, Laia is forced to make a decision. In exchange for help from rebels who promise to rescue her brother, she will risk her life to spy for them from within the Empireโs greatest military academy. There, Laia meets Elias, the schoolโs finest soldier -- and secretly, its most unwilling. Elias wants only to be free of the tyranny heโs being trained to enforce. He and Laia will soon realize that their destinies are intertwined -- and that their choices will change the fate of the Empire itself.
