Plamen v temnotě – Tahirová Sabaa (2017)

A journey full of traps. An ocean of sorrow. A world in flames. Elias and Laia are running for their lives in the gripping continuation of the successful fantasy novel A Torch Against the Night. After the fourth trial, during which unexpected events occurred, imperial soldiers set out to hunt down the two refugees who have left Serra and embarked on a dangerous journey into the heart of the Empire. Laia is preparing to infiltrate Kauf, the most guarded and dangerous imperial prison, to save her brother, whose abilities are the key to the Scholars' survival. And Elias is determined to help her, even though it means giving up his last chance at freedom. Dark forces, both human and supernatural, are working against them. Elias and Laia must fight at every step of their journey to outsmart their enemies: the bloodthirsty Emperor Marcus, the ruthless commander, the sadistic warden who rules Kauf prison, and — most painfully — also Helena, Elias's long-time friend, who now serves as the Emperor's Raven. Helena must submit to Marcus's will and lead a mission that breaks her heart: her task is to find the traitor Elias and kill him.
