Life is made of so many moments that mean nothing. Then one day, a single moment comes along to define every second that comes after. Such moments are tests of courage, of strength.
I had this book for awhile, but could never finish it. I didn’t like the split points of view that this book was written from at first, then I grew to love it. I wish I would’ve pushed through it the first time I tried to read it.
We first meet Laia. Laia is a scholar. She and her brother, Darin, are raised by their grandparents. Together they live a quiet life, one without any resistance to the empire. Then one night, everything changes. Her brother is arrested for treason, and Laia is faced with a life-changing decision. Must she stay and fight, or must she run and hide?
Elias Veturius is top of his class at Blackcliff Military Academy. He, his best friend Helen Aquila, and many others are graduating in just a few short days. He is faced with a tough decision that must be made in the coming days. One that could possibly be the end of him.
In order to save her brother, Laia risks her life as a spy inside Blackcliff. There she meets Elias and the two have more in common than they think. Slave and soldier with common goal? It’s an alliance that can be the death of them, if they aren’t careful.
