Pero Darin se encuentra encerrado en la prision de Kauf, la mas inexpugnable y peligrosa de todo el imperio. A pesar del riesgo que supone, Laia esta decidida a liberar a su hermano y Elias resuelto a seguir a su lado, aunque ello suponga renunciar a su propia libertad."--CasadellibroAfter the events of the Fourth Trial, Martial soldiers hunt the two fugitives as they flee the city of Serra and undertake a perilous journey through the heart of the EmpireLaia is determined to break into Kauf - the Empire's most secure and dangerous prison - to save her brother, who is the key to the Scholars' survival.
