Synopsis

Theodosia was six years old when her country was invaded and her mother, the Queen of Flame and Fury, was murdered before her eyes. Ten years later, Theo has survived a decade of captivity under the relentless abuse of the occupying Kaiser and his court, mocked as the powerless Ash Princess and stripped of the fire magic that once marked her family's rule. Forced into an unbearable act meant to demonstrate her total submission, Theo instead resolves to reclaim her throne and free her people, beginning to build a network of secret allies inside the very court that has humiliated her, even as she must convince the Kaiser and his son, Prinz Søren, that she remains broken and harmless.
