After Red Queen
An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
If Red Queen's blood-fueled rebellion and heart-pounding betrayals left you craving more underdog empowerment, An Ember in the Ashes amps up the defiance with a scrappy slave turned rebel spy dismantling a brutal empire. Fans hooked on Mare's forbidden romances and political intrigue will devour Laia's high-stakes alliances and emotional detonations. It's the same addictive rush of smashing systemic inequality, but with even sharper edges and no safety net.
