But the king refuses to believe she is dead and sends the assassin back to hunt her down. As the assassin closes in, the princess unexpectedly crosses paths with a prince who is secretly the childhood friend she lost years ago. Together, they uncover the truth behind her family’s murder and form an unlikely alliance against the king. Their rebellion brings down the throne, and the princess emerges from the ashes of her past to claim a crown of her own. She was meant to die with her family. Instead, she becomes the Queen of Ashes.
