They’ve seen what happens to those who do.īut when Laia’s brother is arrested for treason, Laia is forced to make a decision.
The family ekes out an existence in the Empire’s impoverished backstreets.
It is in this brutal world, inspired by ancient Rome, that Laia lives with her grandparents and older brother. 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. Under the Martial Empire, defiance is met with death. I have SO MUCH to say about the women, in particular, and the world of jinn and ghuls and a school of Spartanish-trained assassins. I have nothing but good words to say about a high fantasy with men and women with complex loyalties to a seemingly two-sided war.
Holy shitcakes in the oven, THAT WAS SO GOOD.
