An Ember in the Ashes: Laia Character Trailer and GIVEAWAY

JiaContests/GiveawaysComments Off on An Ember in the Ashes: Laia Character Trailer and GIVEAWAY

A couple weeks ago, I posted about the official book trailer for Ember in the Ashes. One of my comments in that post is how book trailers usually leave me wanting more. In the case of this book, now I understand why!

Over the next two weeks, the Ember ambassadors will be unveiling character trailers for each of the main characters of the book. Today, Dear Author is releasing the character trailer for Laia. To jog your memory, this is Laia’s description from the cover copy:

Laia is a Scholar living under the iron-fisted rule of the Martial Empire. When her brother is arrested for treason, Laia goes undercover as a slave at the empire’s greatest military academy in exchange for assistance from rebel Scholars who claim that they will help to save her brother from execution.

Ready? Here’s her character trailer:

What do you think? I definitely recognize some shots from the general book trailer. And I’m still left wanting more. The other three character trailers for Elias, Helene, and the Commandant will be released over the next two weeks, so keep an eye for them!

Now here’s the good part. Penguin Young Readers is once again giving away a signed ARC of Ember in the Ashes and a T-shirt to 5 lucky winners.

May the odds ever be in your favor.

…I’m sorry! That was a bad joke. I couldn’t resist, though. They keep comparing saying this is The Hunger Games meet Game of Thrones, and I don’t have any GoT jokes ready. Nothing appropriate anyway.
