Before they were torn asunder, Laia lived happily and quietly with her Nan, Pop, and brother Darin within the Scholar district of Martial-ruled Serra.

A chance encounter with famed swordsmith Spiro Teluman, who sees in Darin a talent for forging weapons, leads him down a path that pulls him away from his family but towards hope for his people.

Meanwhile, Laia is forced to take her brother’s place accompanying Pop to combat a dangerous illness spreading quickly through Serra. When Laia discovers a surprising cure, will she brave exposure and the heavily-patrolled streets so she can save the city and someone she loves?

This all-new original graphic novel set in the world of the New York Times bestselling An Ember in the Ashes novel series reunites novelist Sabaa Tahir and co-writer Nicole Andelfinger (Dragon Prince: Bloodmoon Huntress) with artist Sonia Liao (The Curie Society) to reveal the untold story of rebellion forged in the heart of the Empire!
