Dive into a riveting tale of power, magic, and the quest for revenge in The Ash Queen.

In the country of Solaria, Princess Johanna’s life takes an unexpected turn when her mother sacrifices herself to safeguard an ancient artifact within the Ivory Halls of the Obsidian Tower. Reluctantly thrust onto the Throne of Solaria, Johanna battles haunting nightmares that refuse to let her rest. Her singular focus: ascending the throne to embark on a quest for vengeance.

However, Johanna’s destiny takes an unforeseen twist when she is chosen by Arcanis, the Goddess of the Suns. Suddenly, the souls of four long-dead leaders occupy her mind, and she discovers a rare magical gift-the ability to manipulate time. Teaming up with her best friend Dedria and personal assistant Pendra, Johanna sets out on a journey to aid the leader of another race in finding her kidnapped mate-snatched by the very culprits responsible for her mother’s demise.

As the new Queen grapples with the delicate balance between seeking retribution for her mother and fulfilling her duty to protect her nation, she unveils the shocking truth about the stolen relic. This ancient artifact proves to be far more perilous and world-altering than she ever imagined. In a race against time, Johanna must navigate political intrigue, harness her newfound powers, and confront a looming threat that could reshape the fate of Solaria and beyond. Will she triumph as both a sovereign and a seeker of justice, or will the shadows of the past eclipse her kingdom’s future?
