Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Sabaa Tahir grew up in California’s Mojave Desert at her family’s 18-room motel where she spent a lot of her time devouring fantasy novels. She wrote her debut novel, An Ember in the Ashes while working nights as a newspaper editor. The book went on to become an international bestseller. Sabaa currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her family and can be found online at www.sabaatahir.com and tweeting @sabaatahir.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The highly anticipated third book in Sabaa Tahir's New York Times bestselling Ember Quartet.

Beyond the Empire and within it, the threat of war looms ever larger.

The Blood Shrike, Helene Aquilla, is assailed on all sides. Emperor Marcus, haunted by his past, grows increasingly unstable, while the Commandant capitalizes on his madness to bolster her own power. As Helene searches for a way to hold back the approaching darkness, her sister's life and the lives of all those in the Empire hang in the balance.

Far to the east, Laia of Serra knows the fate of the world lies not in the machinations of the Martial court, but in stopping the Nightbringer. But while hunting for a way to bring him down, Laia faces unexpected threats from those she hoped would aid her, and is drawn into a battle she never thought she'd have to fight.

And in the land between the living and the dead, Elias Veturius has given up his freedom to serve as Soul Catcher. But in doing so, he has vowed himself to an ancient power that will stop at nothing to ensure Elias's devotion–even at the cost of his humanity.
