A Torch Against The Night by Sabaa Tahir

I picked the book because it is the second book in the series and I read the first one ( An Ember In The Ashes ) because I got the book from a book swap at the Mid-Continent Public Library. The Protagonists are Elias, Laia, Keenan, Izzy, and Cook. The Antagonists are The Commandant, Marcus, The Warden, and the Masks. The Main Conflict is that Laia's family was killed and her house was burned by Masks. Her brither was taken hostage because he knows how to make Serric Steel which he could take to the Marrins to take down the Empire. Laia Teams up with a traitor Mask and is seeking Vengeance for her brother. The theme would be Bravery and Sacrifice. Best part is when Elias and Laia Team up to take down the Empire. I would rate this book a 9-10 Because it goes very deep into detail and has a very good romance somewhere along the line.
