Laura Sebastian writes young adult fantasy novels. She was born and raised in South Florida, attended Savannah College of Art and Design where she earned a B.F.A., and now lives in New York City.
Sebastian’s 2018 book, Ash Princess, starts a trilogy of fantasy novels. In the story, Princess Theodosia of Astrea was six years old when the evil Kaiser, ruler of the Kalovaxians, invaded and killed her mother, the Fire Queen, before her eyes. He imprisoned Theo in a gilded cage, inflicted physical and emotional abuse upon her, and renamed her the Ash Princess after the ruin of her family’s kingdom. For ten years, Theo hoped that her people would come to rescue her. They have magical powers like shape-shifting and telekinesis derived from crystals found deep in the earth. But at sixteen years old now, she knows that isn’t likely so she must act for herself. Now the Kaiser has gone too far and has instructed her to kill her own father. But there might be a glimmer of hope in the Resistance movement, and in a young man who may be friend or foe. Theo decides to be a spy in the Kaiser’s palace and report to the Resistance.
When devising the plot of her stories, Sebastian primarily writes by the seat of her pants, but “I like to think of it more as writing by headlights—the road ahead might be dark, but as long as I can see what’s in my headlights, I’m good,” she declared in an interview with Joyce Lamb online at Happy Ever After. In developing the protagonist character Theo, Sebastian told Michal Schick on the Hypable website: “It was definitely a conscious response to what we tend to think of as strong female characters. I wanted to create a world that was violently brutal and place a heroine in the center of it who was not made to survive it. I wanted to find a way for her to not just survive, but thrive in it and through that broaden what we think of as strong.” A lover of history, Sebastian revealed about her plot: “the tricky thing about history is that it’s often told from the perspective of the conqueror, so it was all about peeling back those layers and looking at the ugly parts of history that we often don’t talk about.”
A Kirkus Reviews critic gave a mixed review, citing descriptions of different races without unique representation and magic-induced madness for narrative shock and distraction. Nevertheless, Sebastian offers “a narrative that crackles with political intrigue, powerful and debilitating magic, and the violent mechanisms of colonization even as it leaves sequel-primed gaps,” said the critic. “Sebastian weaves together political intrigue, theological questions, and the genocide of an entire race,” according to a Publishers Weekly reviewer, who added that through Theo, Sebastian develops themes of human interaction and emotion, familial tension, and the false public face necessary in politics.
Suggesting that fans of Marie Rutkoski’s The Winner’s Curse will enjoy Ash Princess, Booklist reviewer Maggie Reagan called Sebastian’s story “An emotionally complex, breathtakingly suspenseful series starter.” Lenore Catalano said in School Library Journal that the main characters are fully described but the supporting cast is underdeveloped, in addition: “The relationship between Theo and her closest friend, Cress, also seems somewhat contrived, although it is crucial to the story line.” Catalano compared the book to Kiera Cass’s The Selection and Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games. In a review in Voice of Youth Advocates, Kate Neff praised the book for a strong female protagonist who is tough, honorable, and relatable. “Sebastian has built a beautiful and complex world that mirrors Earth in some ways but is still a unique creation,” noted Neff.

Interview: Laura Sebastian, author of ‘Ash Princess’
By: Joyce Lamb | April 24, 2018 12:01 am
Joyce: Welcome to HEA, Laura! Please tell us a bit about your new release, Ash Princess.
Laura: Ash Princess is about the captured queen of a conquered country who has been held as a living trophy in her former court for 10 years waiting for someone to save her from the sadistic and tyrannical. When she loses her last hope of rescue, she realizes she has to save herself. With the help of a group of rebels, she concocts a dangerous plot to seduce and murder the Kaiser’s warrior son, but her loyalties become tested and she’s forced to choose between the girl she is and the queen she needs to become to save her people.
Joyce: Do you have any particular rituals that help you get into the writing frame of mind?
Laura: As long as I have a cup of coffee or tea on hand, I can write just about anywhere! Sometimes I like to listen to music, too, but it really depends on the mood I’m in and the scene I’m writing.
Joyce: What do you do when you get stuck?
Laura: I keep a notebook that I use whenever I get to a point where I don’t know what happens next. I call it my Scene Anatomy and I’ll basically break down the next scene I need to write — who is in it, where is it, what needs to happen and why. Once I know those four things, I usually manage to get unstuck. If that doesn’t work, it means that the story took a bad turn somewhere and I need to go back and figure out what needs to be fixed in order to move forward.
Joyce: Do you write by the seat of your pants, or do you carefully plot your stories?
Laura: I’m definitely more of a pantser, but I like to think of it more as writing by headlights — the road ahead might be dark, but as long as I can see what’s in my headlights, I’m good.
Joyce: What’s your favorite snack and/or beverage while you’re writing?
Laura: I drink copious amounts of coffee! I also have a sweet tooth, so whenever I work in a coffee shop, I always have to get a muffin or cookie or something to nibble on.
Joyce: Do you have a pet that hangs out with you while you’re working?
Laura: I have a dog named Neville who is half maltese, half toy poodle. He’s usually content to nap away while I write, but sometimes he gets a little vocally jealous of all the attention I’m paying my laptop.
Joyce: What’s your ideal scenery while you’re writing?
Laura: I can write just about anywhere! I used to babysit, so I’ve written in bowling alleys and with the TV on and in the middle of a Dave & Buster’s, so I’ve gotten used to writing in loud, hectic environments. Ideally, though, I like a good quiet coffee shop.
Joyce: What would be your dream vacation?
Laura: I actually grew up on an island, so a slow-paced vacation in tropical paradise holds very little appeal for me. I prefer old, bustling cities with deep history and a lot to explore. Edinburgh is one of my favorite places to visit because it truly has everything I love in a city — there’s even a castle right in the middle of it!
Joyce: What are you working on now?
Laura: I’m working on the next two books in the Ash Princess series as well as a couple of other projects that I can’t talk about yet.
Joyce: Thanks, Laura!
About Ash Princess:
Theodosia was six when her country was invaded and her mother, the Fire Queen, was murdered before her eyes. On that day the Kaiser took Theodosia’s family, her land, and her name. Theo was crowned Ash Princess—a title of shame to wear in her new life as a prisoner.
For ten years Theo has been a captive in her own palace. She’s endured the relentless abuse and ridicule of the Kaiser and his court. She is powerless, surviving in her new world only by burying the girl she was deep inside.
Then, one night, the Kaiser forces her to do the unthinkable. With blood on her hands and all hope of reclaiming her throne lost, she realizes that surviving is no longer enough. But she does have a weapon; her mind is sharper than any sword. And power isn’t always won on the battlefield.
For ten years, the Ash Princess has seen her land pillaged and her people enslaved.
That all ends here.

Laura Sebastian grew up in South Florida and attended Savannah College of Art and Design. She has written a play published with Playscripts, Inc., and lives in New York City, where she spends her time writing fantasy novels, babysitting and interning in publishing. Ash Princess is her debut novel.
Laura Sebastian was born and raised in South Florida (the Redlands and Key Largo) and has always loved telling stories–many apologies to her little brother who often got in trouble because of them. No copies of her first book, a Cinderella retelling about angels circa 2nd grade, remain. Thankfully.
After getting her BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design, she moved to New York City thinking that she would stay for a couple of years before going somewhere better suited for a small-town, sun-loving girl. Five years later, she’s still here and madly in love with it.
When Laura isn’t writing, she’s probably reading, baking cookies or cupcakes, buying more clothes than her overstuffed closet can fit, or forcing her lazy dog Neville to take a walk.
Her debut ASH PRINCESS, the start of a YA fantasy trilogy, will be out April 24th, 2018 from Delacorte (Random House).

About ‘Ash Princess’ by Laura Sebastian
Theodosia was six when her country was invaded and her mother, the Fire Queen, was murdered before her eyes. On that day, the Kaiser took Theodosia’s family, her land, and her name. Theo was crowned Ash Princess–a title of shame to bear in her new life as a prisoner.
For ten years Theo has been a captive in her own palace. She’s endured the relentless abuse and ridicule of the Kaiser and his court. She is powerless, surviving in her new world only by burying the girl she was deep inside.
Then, one night, the Kaiser forces her to do the unthinkable. With blood on her hands and all hope of reclaiming her throne lost, she realizes that surviving is no longer enough. But she does have a weapon: her mind is sharper than any sword. And power isn’t always won on the battlefield.
For ten years, the Ash Princess has seen her land pillaged and her people enslaved. That all ends here.
Interview with Laura Sebastian
What was your initial inspiration for Ash Princess?
I think that all art we create is a response — conscious or unconscious — to the art we consume. With Ash Princess, it was definitely a conscious response to what we tend to think of as strong female characters. I wanted to create a world that was violently brutal and place a heroine in the center of it who was not made to survive it. I wanted to find a way for her to not just survive, but thrive in it and through that broaden what we think of as strong.
Your main character, Theo, is unique in that she has to rely almost entirely on her wits to survive and change her circumstances. What was it like to create a character like this?
My favorite fantasy books all have tough as nails heroines, who I love, but if I were in their worlds, I wouldn’t survive the prologue. I remember when Game of Thrones became popular and everyone would hate on Sansa but hold Arya up as an ideal heroine and it would always annoy me. They’re both well-developed and nuanced characters, but most people aren’t Arya with her Needle or Katniss with her bow or Eowyn slaying the Lord of the Nazgul. Most people would be lucky to be Sansa, because Sansa survives where most people would not.
So I wanted to write about a girl who should not have survived the prologue but somehow does, who uses the talents she does have to keep surviving against all odds.
Ash Princess uses fantasy to explore personal and national trauma — not easy subjects! How did you approach this, and how did you embody this struggle in your characters?
I tend to start with character and then figure out the world that would have shaped them into who they are. With Ash Princess, I knew it couldn’t be a kind world. I knew that if I was writing about a captive queen, I was writing about a conquered country and I didn’t want to pull any punches there.
I’ve always been a lover of history, but the tricky thing about history is that it’s often told from the perspective of the conqueror, so it was all about peeling back those layers and looking at the ugly parts of history that we often don’t talk about and how people would have been shaped by that on both sides.
There’s a moment toward the end where Theo says that she doesn’t think she’ll ever be alright and I think that’s important. Traumas like the ones the Astreans have suffered are not ones that can be neatly healed, not by the end of the book or even the end of the series, and I wanted to address the raw messiness of that.
Throughout the book, Theo struggles with the fact that some of the people she is closest to, like her friend Crescentia and Prinz Søren, are also her oppressors. What was it like to explore the dichotomy between friendship and political division?
I think that as someone who only had her oppressors for ten years, she had no choice but to find friendship with Cress. If she were completely isolated and alone I’m not sure she would have survived it, but she knows who Cress is and what side she’s on. She sees it in the way Cress treats Astreans who aren’t her. They use the term heart’s sisters — their version of BFFs — but Theo is also keeping huge parts of herself hidden from Cress because she can’t trust her with them, even though she loves her.
With Søren it’s a bit different, because he’s a relatively new person in Theo’s life. If Theo’s a twist on the princess trapped in a tower, Søren is a twist on the knight in shining armor. He sees her as someone he can save and he wants desperately to do that—but how can he save her from his own people? She manipulates that desire in some really fun ways.
Both of them see Theo as separate from the Astrean people — special. They treat her better because of it. But when that separation begins to bleed, they both make choices that were surprising to me as I was writing.
What was the most challenging part of writing Ash Princess? What did you find most rewarding?
The scenes of abuse were really difficult to write. I normally write a whole scene in one sitting, but with those I had to take breaks, walk, clear my head. I think they’re necessary to the book, but I hated writing them.
On the other hand, I really enjoyed writing Theo’s scenes with Søren, though maybe not for the obvious reasons. Because so much of it was her manipulating him and showing him what he wanted to see, there were so many layers to it, and once the layers begin to blur—well, it was definitely a challenge, but a rewarding one.
How did Ash Princess change most between your first draft and finished novel?
Cress’s character was probably the biggest change. Even when I was writing the first draft, I saw her as sort of a throwaway character. I remember giving the prologue and first chapter to the twelve year old I was babysitting for at the time and she came back and said that Cress was her favorite, which took me by surprise. She was so right, though. Their friendship added a necessary layer to the story. After the first draft, though, it got a lot tougher. I had to dig deeper into her character and pry open the uglier parts of her in order to explore how a girl like her, growing up in the world she’s grown up in, would react to the events of the story.
What was your approach to writing the villain of Ash Princess? Will Theo face different kinds of antagonists as her story continues?
The Kaiser is just evil in every facet of his personality, which was easy to write in a sense. I would just ask myself what the worst thing a person could do was and then amplify that by ten. It helped drive up the stakes of the story immediately and keep them going throughout the book. But villains wear many faces and I’m excited to show different kinds of more nuanced antagonists in future books. Evil doesn’t always announce itself as loudly as it does in the Kaiser and I wanted to write about the subtler kinds too — the kinds you might not recognize until their close enough to stab you in the back.
Which is easier for you to write, the first line or the last line?
My first line was the first thing I ever wrote for this book, even before I knew what it was about. It hasn’t changed since then. The last line was definitely trickier and changed quite a bit, but now it might be my favorite line in the book.
Do you need anything in order to write?
Coffee. Copious amounts of coffee. I tried switching to tea but that did not turn out well.
Would you rather be a book or a computer?
Definitely a book. Don’t get me wrong — I love my computer — but it’s a tool I use and every few years I need to replace it. The books I love, though, I intend to cherish for my entire life.
Ash Princess by Laura Sebastian is available on April 24 from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and your local independent bookseller.

Sebastian, Laura ASH PRINCESS Delacorte (Young Adult Fiction) $18.99 4, 24 ISBN: 978-1-5247-6706-8
The daughter of a murdered queen plots to take back what is hers.
With her country seized and her mother, the Fire Queen of Astrea, murdered by invaders when she was only 6 years old, Theodosia has been a prisoner for 10 years, stripped of her crown, her people enslaved. Theo (renamed Thora by her captors) is at the mercy of the Kaiser--the fearsome ruler of the Kalovaxians--enduring his malicious whims in order to survive. But when the Kaiser forces Theo to execute her own father, survival is no longer good enough, and she finally takes up the mantle of queen to lead her people's rise to resistance in a land saturated in elemental magic. Debut author Sebastian has invigorated some well-worn fantasy tropes (a displaced heir, an underground rebellion, and a love triangle that muddies the distinctions between enemies and allies), delivering a narrative that crackles with political intrigue, powerful and debilitating magic, and the violent mechanisms of colonization even as it leaves sequel-primed gaps. Some details--like Theo's crisis of identity and Hamletian indecision--work well to submerge readers in a turbulent and enthralling plot; others, like racialized descriptions that fall short of actual representation (Atreans are dark-haired and olive-skinned, Kalovaxians are blond and pale-skinned) and the use of magic-induced madness for narrative shock and awe feel lazy and distracting among more nuanced elements.
"Cinderella" but with genocide and rebel plots. (Fantasy. 14-17)

Sebastian, Laura. Ash Princess, Book 1. Delacorte/Penguin Random House, April 2018. 448p. $18.99. 978-1-5247-6706-8.
Theodosia was once a princess and heir to a beautiful kingdom before her people were overthrown and her mother was brutally murdered in front of her. Now she is known as Lady Thora, the Ash Princess, and forced to live under the cruel Kaiser who punishes her for any whiff of an uprising. Thora has adapted as best she can over the past ten years in order to make a life for herself, but everything changes the day the Kaiser makes her kill her suspected father. Thora remembers her true identity, as Theo, and along with some of her remaining people, including childhood friend Blaise, she plans a rebellion. Although it would seem Theo would have reason enough to turn on the Kaiser and his court, her best friend is the daughter of the Kaiser's right-hand man, and the Kaiser's son, Prinz Soren, falls in love with her. These relationships complicate matters for Theo, and she struggles to figure out the right thing for herself and her people.
For fantasy fans, especially those who enjoy strong female protagonists, this book will be an easy sell. Theo is tough, honorable, and relatable in her emotions. Sebastian has built a beautiful and complex world that mirrors Earth in some ways but is still a unique creation. There is an element of magic, too, because Theo's people are able to use crystals from deep in the earth to strengthen their abilities, like shape-shifting and telekinesis. There is some violence and intense imagery but no crude language or sexual content beyond the Kaiser's leering at Theo with thinly veiled intentions. Fantasy fans looking for a new series will enjoy this one.--Kate Neff

Laura Sebastian. Delacorte, $18.99 (448p)
ISBN 978-1-5247-6706-8
Sixteen-year-old Princess Theodosia is a royal prisoner in the Kaiser's court within the fantasy setting of Astrea--where some have the power of magical abilities channeled through coveted gems. The victim of intense physical and mental abuse (she witnessed her mother being murdered), she believes her people will come to save her. But after being forced to kill a man she believes to be her last hope, the so-called Ash Princess realizes she'll have to save herself. In a story driven by the strength of its traumatized yet resourceful protagonist, Sebastian weaves together political intrigue, theological questions, and the genocide of an entire race. The princess agrees to stay in her gilded cage to act as a spy for the resistance; her dual purpose provides a window into the complexities of human interaction and emotion, familial tensions, and the false public face that is sometimes required in politics and at court. Theodosia navigates a web of lies and half-truths, culminating in a climactic ending ripe for a sequel. Ages 12-up. Agent: Laura Biagi, Jean V. Naggar Literary Agency. (Apr.)

Theodosia was six when the invaders came. Her peaceful country never stood a chance. The Kalovaxians killed Theo's mother, the queen; enslaved her people; and commodified the magical stones that Theo's people hold sacred. Now 16 and called Thora, Theo is still held captive in her palace; the kaiser places a shameful ash crown upon her head and tortures her every time her people rebel. When the opportunity to escape arrives just after the kaiser forces her to do something terrible, Theo refuses to run, believing she can do more for her people on the inside. She throws herself into a complicated plot involving the kaiser's son, but she needs every ounce of intelligence she has--one misstep could mean her death, and there are other people plotting in this castle as well. Fans of Marie Rutkoski's The Winner's Curse (2014) will find a kindred spirit in this debut, which highlights Theo's complicated feelings toward the people who have held her captive most of her life. An emotionally complex, breathtakingly suspenseful series starter.--Maggie Reagan

SEBASTIAN, Laura. Ash Princess. 448p. Delacorte. Apr. 2018. Tr $18.99. ISBN 9781524767068.
Gr 7 Up--An Artemisian princess is used as a threat to those who would try to overthrow the Kalovaxians who have taken over Artemisia. The new Kaiser even causes her to change her name from Theodosia to Thora and ingrains in her head that she cannot mention her real name without getting punished. He further disgraces her by calling her the Ash Princess, since she no longer has a country to rule, and makes her wear a crown of ashes that crumbles and stains her clothes. She is punished for any events that the Artemisians plan to get back their country or any incidents that cause the Kaiser to look bad. It is only when the Kaiser causes her to kill her own father that her feelings of quiet acceptance turn into rebellion. The journey through her thoughts and the pressure of high expectations from those supporting her as their queen are ever-present as she starts to find a way to take back the country. Through unexpected allies and daring escape plans, her trip from downtrodden princess to queen is an engaging one that fantasy fans will enjoy. The main characters are well rounded but the supporting cast is somewhat underdeveloped. This might be rectified in the next installments. The relationship between Theo and her closest friend, Cress, also seems somewhat contrived, although it is crucial to the story line. There are some graphic descriptions of the punishments that Theodosia endures, so this novel may not be for the faint of heart. VERDICT Purchase where there are still avid fans of "The Selection" series by Kiera Cass and "The Hunger Games" trilogy by Suzanne Collins.--Lenore Catalano, Hammarskjold Middle School, NJ
