Quand Games of Thrones rencontre Hunger Games ! Dans un monde où l''armée a pris le pouvoir, l''obscurantisme domine, mais deux adolescents vont s''unir pour tenter de renverser ceux qui ont imposé ce règne de la force. Autrefois le royaume était savant et cultivé. Il était partagé entre les Scholars (ceux qui détiennent le savoir) et les Martials (les soldats qui tirent leur puissance de la force brute). Jusqu''au jour où les Martials ont pris violemment le dessus et écrasé les Scholars. Désormais, quiconque est trouvé avec un livre ou en train d''écrire risque la prison ou la mort. Le royaume a sombré dans l''obscurantisme et les Scholars ont peu à peu oublié leurs connaissances... Laia, une Scholar de 16 ans, voit sa famille assassinée car son frère, qui détenait un carnet mystérieux, est accusé de trahison. Pour venger sa famille et empêcher que son frère ne soit exécuté, Laia rejoint la résistance. Celle-ci l''envoie en mission d''espionnage dans l''école militaire de Blackcliff qui forme l''élite de l''armée, où elle devient vite l''esclave de la terrible directrice. De son côté, Elias, jeune Martial de 20 ans, fils de la directrice et possible futur empereur, rêve d''échapper à son destin tant il hait les exactions du pouvoir en place... et sa mère despotique.

De uma das autoras juvenis mais queridas da atualidade, Toda a minha ira é um romance de tirar o fôlego sobre amor jovem, arrependimentos antigos e perdão — ao mesmo tempo trágico e emocionante em sua terna ferocidade. Lahore, Paquistão. Passado. Misbah é uma sonhadora e contadora de histórias, recém-casada com Toufiq em um casamento arranjado. Depois de ter a vida abalada por uma tragédia, eles emigram para os Estados Unidos e abrem o Clouds'' Rest Inn Motel, com a esperança de um recomeço. Juniper, Califórnia. Presente. Salahudin e Noor são mais que melhores amigos; eles são família. Crescendo como párias numa cidadezinha em pleno deserto de Mojave, eles entendem um ao outro como ninguém mais consegue. Até a Briga, que destrói o vínculo entre eles com a fúria de uma explosão. Agora, Sal luta para administrar o motel da família conforme a saúde de sua mãe, Misbah, se deteriora e seu pai se perde no alcoolismo. Noor, por sua vez, anda numa corda bamba angustiante, trabalhando na loja de bebidas de seu tio violento enquanto esconde o fato de que está se candidatando em várias universidades para poder escapar dele — e de Juniper — para sempre. Quando as tentativas de Sal de salvar o motel saem de controle, ele e Noor precisam se perguntar quanto vale a amizade entre eles — e o que é preciso para derrotar os monstros do passado e também os do presente. Um romance juvenil contemporâneo brilhante, inesquecível e comovente sobre família e perdão, amor e perda, em uma história arrebatadora que atravessa gerações e continentes. "A prosa em primeira pessoa vibra com intensidade adolescente — com tristeza, desejo e, acima de tudo, raiva lancinante — enquanto os jovens heróis de Tahir são confrontados com escolhas que se sentem despreparados para fazer. Mas preparados eles estão: com poesia, música, tradição e sua capacidade de amar." — Entertainment Weekly "Toda a minha ira é uma força profunda e inabalável que vai sacudir o seu coração e endurecer a sua alma. A escrita afiada de Sabaa Tahir nunca se esquiva da crueldade do mundo, mas sempre encontra a luz na escuridão para os nossos narradores especiais e inesquecíveis." — Adam Silvera, autor de Os dois morrem no final "Toda a minha ira é uma história de amor, uma tragédia e um sonho adolescente contagiante sobre o significado de lar quando você sente que não se encaixa." — New York Times Book Review "Este é o tipo de livro que definitivamente entra sob a sua pele e rouba o seu fôlego da melhor maneira." — Buzzfeed "Uma história intergeracional profundamente comovente. Uma viagem emocional inesquecível." — Kirkus Reviews "Um romance poderoso, narrado de maneira visceral." — Publishers Weekly

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION TIMES 2020 100 Best YA of All Times A "deft, polished debut" (Publishers Weekly, starred review), Sabaa Tahir‘s AN EMBER IN THE ASHES is a thought-provoking, heart-wrenching and pulse-pounding read. Set in a rich, high-fantasy world with echoes of ancient Rome, it tells the story of a slave fighting for her family and a young soldier fighting for his freedom. 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.

A autora best-seller Sabaa Tahir se junta à roteirista Nicole Andelfinger e à artista Sonia Liao para compor esta história original, que traz à luz um episódio perturbador da vida de Elias e Helene em Blackcliff e um capítulo emocionante da mitologia de Uma Chama entre as Cinzas. Dentro do Império não há perguntas, apenas ordens. Elias, Helene e Tavi são cincos, estudantes em treinamento na Academia Blackcliff para se tornarem soldados de elite do Império Marcial. Quando eles são enviados em uma missão perigosa para roubar um veneno fortemente guardado na Ilha Sul, logo se deparam com inimigos surpreendentes — incluindo outros estudantes de Blackcliff. À medida que o verdadeiro horror dessa missão for sendo revelado, caberá a Elias, Helene e Tavi enfrentar a realidade angustiante do governo marcial, o lugar de cada um nesse sistema... e as escolhas que eles devem fazer para sobreviver. "A construção de mundo de Tahir é incrivelmente detalhada, e o cenário é incomum para livros de fantasia. Todos os personagens, mesmo os secundários, são plenamente desenvolvidos. Para fãs de Game of Thrones." - School Library Journal "Em uma história repleta de intrigas políticas e assombrada por forças sobrenaturais, a verdadeira tensão vem de observar Elias e Laia lutarem para decidir a quem entregar sua lealdade." - Publishers Weekly " Uma Chama entre as Cinzas arrasta os leitores para um mundo marcado por violência e opressão, mas o faz com uma prosa simples que oferece momentos de beleza em sua objetividade. Essa complexidade faz deste um livro que vale a pena — tão corajoso quanto seus personagens." - The New York Times Book Review
