Abstract

The article announces the upcoming release of *Empire*, the conclusion to Sabaa Tahir's duology that began with her young adult fantasy novel *Heir*, set in the world of her *An Ember in the Ashes* series. *Heir* follows three main characters—Aiz, Sirsha, and Quil—whose intertwined stories explore themes of power, loyalty, and conflict, and was recognized as the inaugural Good Morning America YA book club pick with multiple starred reviews. *Empire* continues their narratives, focusing on Quil’s rule, Sirsha’s struggle against an ancient evil, and Aiz’s descent toward war. While this duology concludes the current storyline, Tahir suggests the possibility of revisiting these characters and settings in the future. [Extracted from the article]
