![]() ![]() She’s tasked to infiltrate Blackcliff Academy, spy on the head of the school, the Commandant, and find out information about the Trials that recently graduated Masks have to go through in order to compete for the Emperor spot. Their two fates collide when Laia decides to join the Scholar Resistance after losing her brother to a Mask. The Marshalls conquered the Scholars long ago, which is why Scholars are used as slaves and are general just the lowest class a citizen can be. Laia, on the other hand, is a Scholar, the lowest in the hierarchy. Elias is a Marshall and training to become a Mask, which is pretty much the highest ranking that anyone can have without being an Emperor or having any of the jobs that have to do with the royal title. They are from opposite sides of the hierarchy. While these books have multiple points of view (especially as you go along the series), they mainly focus on a protagonist named Laia and another named Elias. They are Teen/Young Adult fantasy novels that are heavily inspired by Greek and Roman hierarchy, as well as their architecture and a little bit of the world-building when it comes to in-book mythology. An Ember in the Ashes is a four book series by Sabaa Tahir. ![]()
