“My mother was the fire queen. "As a twist of fate, I am the ash princess."

Theodosia was only six years old when her country was invaded and her mother, the Queen of Fire, was killed before her eyes. That day, the Kaiser took away Theodosia's family, her country and her name. Theo is now known as the Ash Princess, which she will carry as a shame in her new life as a prisoner. He lives a prisoner life in his own palace for ten years. He is subjected to brutal harassment and humiliation by the Kaiser and his court. She buries herself inside the girl she used to be and continues her life as a powerless princess in her new world. Until one night, the Kaiser did the unthinkable. There is no salvation for Theo, who loses hope of one day regaining his lost throne when his hands are stained with blood. But he has a weapon: His intelligence is sharper than a sword. And power isn't always won on the battlefield. For ten years, the Ash Princess has seen how her country was plundered and her people enslaved. But it won't end like this.

“It is a story about political intrigues, debilitating secret forces, and the cruelty of colonialism. "The Ash Princess invites its readers to an immersive and fascinating journey."

- Kirkus Reviews -

“It will be one of the most read books of the summer. "A novel so gripping and fascinating that you won't be able to put it down."

“This story, masterfully woven with great imagination, tells the story of a disgraced princess who wants revenge and how she goes into rebellion step by step to regain her former power. Contrary to classical narratives about a fallen hero, The Ash Princess tells the story of a world full of palace intrigues, love and lies with its intelligent and feminist hero at a dizzying speed. If he's cutting you off, let's defeat him."

-Virginia Boecker -

“This story recreates its characters and pits them against themselves with each sword stroke, as they swing and turn like a swordsman woman. “This gripping and burning novel tells the difficult test of both evil and resistance.”

“A rebellious queen lights the fire of rebellion. "Thanks to Theo's first-person narration, we feel his emotions more deeply and keep up with the pace of intrigues and promises."
