A Torch Against the Night (Ukrainian title: «Проти ночі смолоскип») is the second book of Sabaa Tahir's An Ember in the Ashes series. After the events of the Fourth Trial, Elias and Laia escape. She is determined to break into Kauf Prison and save her brother; he is determined to help her succeed, even if it means giving up his last chance at freedom.
But dark forces, human and supernatural, work against them. They must outwit the bloodthirsty Emperor Marcus, the ruthless Commandant, the sadistic warden of Kauf and, most terrifying of all, Elias's former friend Helene — the Empire's new Blood Shrike, bound by Marcus's will to hunt down the traitor Elias and the Scholar slave who helped him. Read after An Ember in the Ashes.
