Ash Princess

Praise for the New York Times bestselling Ash Princess series: “Sure to be one of the summer's most talked about YAs . . . . A darkly enchanting page-turner you won't be able to put down.” – Bustle “ Tense and imaginative, this story of a diminished yet vengeful princess inciting a rebellion to recapture her rightful place of power strikes a timely chord. Ash Princess is a smart, feminist twist on a traditional tale of a fallen heroine , with plenty of court intrigue, love, and lies to sweeten the deal. Good luck putting this one down.” —Virginia Boecker, author of The Witch Hunter series “The story leaps and twists like a swordswoman, and its blade carves the characters anew and divides them against themselves.
