Título: An ember in the ashes
Autor: Sabaa Tahir
Sinopse: Laia is a slave. Elias is a soldier. Neither is free. 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 Empire’s impoverished backstreets. They do not challenge the Empire. They’ve seen what happens to those who do. But when Laia’s 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 Empire’s greatest military academy. There, Laia meets Elias, the school’s finest soldier—and secretly, its most unwilling. Elias wants only to be free of the tyranny he’s 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.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers oferecem uma experiência de leitura marcada por narrativas que transitam entre o suspense intenso e o humor leve, com forte presença de histórias de fantasia, aventura e dramas pessoais. O catálogo revela uma predileção por enredos que exploram conflitos internos e externos, muitas vezes ambientados em contextos contemporâneos ou fantásticos, onde personagens jovens enfrentam dilemas complexos, como sobrevivência, identidade e relações familiares. A linguagem costuma ser acessível, mas com densidade emocional, equilibrando momentos de tensão com toques de leveza e humor, especialmente em séries voltadas para leitores mais jovens. As sinopses sugerem ainda uma diversidade temática que vai do realismo social ao escapismo fantástico, contemplando tanto narrativas mais narrativas e emocionais quanto aquelas com ritmo acelerado e foco em ação.
