Ash princess - laura sebastian

The instant New York Times-bestselling launch of an epic fantasy about a throne cruelly stolen and a girl who must fight to take it back for her people.

A smart, feminist twist on a traditional tale of a fallen heroine, with plenty of court intrigue, love, and lies to sweeten the deal.

--Virginia Boecker, author of The Witch Hunter series.

The first book in the New York Times bestselling series made for fans of Victoria Aveyard and Sabaa Tahir ( Bustle ), Ash Princess is an epic new fantasy about a throne cruelly stolen and a girl who must fight to take it back for her people.

Theodosia was six when her country was invaded and her mother, the Fire Queen, was murdered before her eyes.

On that day, the Kaiser took Theodosias family, her land, and her name.

Theo was crowned Ash Princess--a title of shame to bear in her new life as a prisoner.

For ten years Theo has been a captive in her own palace.

Shes endured the relentless abuse and ridicule of the Kaiser and his court.

She is powerless, surviving in her new world only by burying the girl she was deep inside.

Then, one night, the Kaiser forces her to do the unthinkable.

With blood on her hands and all hope of reclaiming her throne lost, she realizes that surviving is no longer enough.

But she does have a weapon: her mind is sharper than any sword.

And power isnt always won on the battlefield.

For ten years, the Ash Princess has seen her land pillaged and her people enslaved.

That all ends here.

Sure to be one of the summers most talked about YAs.

A darkly enchanting page-turner you wont be able to put down.
