Theo lives in fear and pain, and most Astreans now work in the dangerous mines, where, after some time, they inevitably go mine-mad and die. The Kaiser took her freedom, enslaved her people, even changed her name to Lady Thora. Now the Kaiser, leader of the Kalovaxians, rules over a fearful and broken Astrea, and Theo has become the Ash Princess a living joke. Ten years ago, her country, Astrea, was invaded by the Kalovaxians and Theo's mother, the Queen, was murdered in front of her, when she was only six years old. ‘Ash Princess’ is a thrilling and dramatic fantasy novel, about Theodosia Houzzara, the Ash Princess. How far is she prepared to go, and how will her actions affect the fates of those around her?Ī powerful and thrilling fantasy, Ash Princess kept me on the edge of my seat with its brilliant storyline, complex characters and exciting plots.
Her loyalties are tested though as her only friend is the daughter of the Kaiser’s right hand man and then, against her own reason she falls in love with the Kaiser’s son. As the sovereign, she feels responsible for the safety of her people who are now dying as slaves in the mines and she is burdened with guilt over not being able to help them. She will need guile and cunning, a handful of true friends and a streak of ruthlessness herself to defeat the Kaiser who no one dare defy. Plotting escape, revenge and freedom for her people she is determined to one day become the true queen of her own lands. They took her mother, her childhood innocence and even her name from her, but now she is fighting back. She has lived in the palace with the ruthless Kalovaxians who conquered her kingdom for years, enduring the insults. They killed her mother the Queen in front of her and made her stab her own father.
