Torch in the night. Tahir S.

The empire is most important - more important than your desires, friendship, love. Any riot is punishable by death. If you do not keep loyalty to the emperor, you and your family are executed. Such is the merciless world where Liaya lives. Her older brother was arrested for treason and, in order to save him, she penetrates the Military Academy of the Empire. Elias is one of the best soldiers of the Academy, but secretly he dreams of another life, of freedom. When the ways of Laya and Elias intersect, they understand that they are connected by fate. The choice they will make will change the future of the whole empire. Now they have a long and dangerous path to get to Kauf - the most terrible prison of the empire, and rescue Lya's brother from there. They are ready to counter the whole world and even an old friend who is connected by the bonds of the oath and must fulfill the will of the Emperor Marcus- to catch Elias and execute him.
