Princess Theodosia was a prisoner in her own country for a decade. As the Ash Princess she endured relentless abuse and ridicule from the Kaiser and his court. Now free, with a misfit army of rebels to back her, Theo must liberate her enslaved people and face a terrifying new enemy: the new Kaiserin. Imbued with a magic no one understands, the Kaiserin is determined to burn down anyone and everything in her way. With Prinz Søren as the Kaiserin's hostage, there is more at stake than ever. Theo must learn to embrace her own power if she has any hope of standing against the girl she once called her heart's sister. -- Adapted from book jacket.
