The thrilling conclusion to the New York Times best-selling series "made for fans of Victoria Aveyard and Sabaa Tahir" (Bustle), Ember Queen is an epic fantasy about a throne cruelly stolen and a girl who must fight to take it back for her people.

Princess Theodosia was a prisoner in her own country for a decade. Renamed the Ash Princess, she endured relentless abuse and ridicule from the Kaiser and his court. But though she wore a crown of ashes, there is fire in Theo's blood. As the rightful heir to the Astrean crown, it runs in her veins. And if she learned anything from her mother, it's that a Queen never cowers.

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.

The Kaiserin's strange power is growing stronger, and with Prinz Søren as her 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.

Critic reviews

“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. This searing page-turner is a compelling examination of the complexities of both evil and resistance.” (Sarah Porter, author of Vassa in the Night)

I like the story until the end. I didn’t like the ending.. I think it could have been a better conclusion. But overall the narrator was excellent!

Good Read

Loved this series although I do feel like this last book drew out a little bit in the middle. I felt myself wanting to skip chapters to get to more interesting parts. Still a great listen when you have a long time to wait.

Great ending

A wonderful conclusion to an amazing series! It’s always heartbreaking when you have to say goodbye to a story you love but I am so glad we get to say goodbye in this way. Sebastian is a master of pace and skillfully builds tension throughout this book, while threading in kind, humorous, and loving moments to relieve in between. She creates a tight plot and gives us moments rarely seen in epic journeys. We get to see battle strategies and negotiations, and the thought process of what it takes to become a queen. We get to understand the characters’ choices - not just told those choices are the “only ones available” - which is immensely refreshing. This whole novel is centered on choice and the complexities and consequences behind each one - and this makes for a beautiful and surprising climax. I think that exploration of choice, and what it means to be free, is also what creates such vivid, realistic characters. And it is the character development and dedication to each person’s value in this final installment that glues you to the page and crafts a heart-stirring ending to this great series.

AMAZING!
