The Plot: Like "Red Rising," this fantasy series is set in a world that’s inspired by ancient Rome. Told from two points of view: One is Laia, a scholar who poses as a slave girl to help a rebel group save her brother, and the other is Elias, an elite warrior bound for glory who begins to question his role in the brutal society.
Before the book was even released, Paramount won a heated seven-figure auction for the rights.
