"Escape the City of Gold, or live forever in chains."
Raised in splendid isolation.
Betrothed to a man she despises.
Destined to rule over the greatest city on earth.
She is the Golden Princess.
Sarah dreams of love and adventure beyond her gilded prison, but tonight her dreams come true in the most terrifying way imaginable. A bloody power struggle erupts for the throne, and dawn finds the princess on the run with a bounty on her head. Alone and hunted by guards, criminals and a ruthless slaver who will stop at nothing to burn his brand into her flesh, Sarah must summon courage she never knew she possessed.
Hope, however, comes in the form of two lowly thieves. Driven by a secret, they race through Hur-ar’s underworld to find Sarah before her enemies do.
Before the next sunset, Sarah’s fate, and that of empires, will be decided with gold, steel and blood.

The Golden Princess Chronicles of Fu Xi Book 0 eBook Brian Braden Katrina Monroe
While I don't normally read fantasy books, this book had me enthralled. It is a unique departure from your typical fantasy book in that it does not spend page upon page world-building. However, you can tell right from page one that the author knows this world inside and out. The details are so luscious and fleshed out without being heavy handed or bogging down the pace. The characters feel like real people in precarious situations. I felt for Sarah and her family and really cheered for them throughout the book. There is plenty of hardship to share around, and each turn of the page kept me guess on what the outcome might be for the golden princess. The book strikes a good balance between action and some romantic heat. It keeps you turning pages throughout. I would definitely recommend this book and the others in the series. With such high quality writing for such a low price its a no-brainer.Product details

The Golden Princess Chronicles of Fu Xi Book 0 eBook Brian Braden Katrina Monroe Reviews
One thing I expect from historical fiction novels like this one is for the setting to be its own character. In my mind it has to be. That’s the only way for the story to come alive, to really immerse the reader in the world they’re reading about. Otherwise it’s just a backdrop and the time in which it was set becomes insignificant. That’s what I feel like happened here.
It’s a pretty good story, with incredibly compelling characters. The blurb is a bit of a misnomer, though. It’s not just Sarah’s story. The POV shifts between her, her brother, some slave owners, Sarah’s mom. It’s all over the place but it comes together cohesively. The story doesn’t come off scattered and it provides different perspectives of the same event that helps with the setting a little more.
But I’m really grasping at straws when it comes to the world. It just was’t fleshed out enough for me. I’m a big Michelle Moran fan, if that gives you any indication of what I expect with my historical fiction. I also just read WRITTEN IN THE ASHES by Kaia Van Zandt, who writes along the same lines as Moran. Incredibly detailed, making the world pop off the page. I’m a world whore anyway. I like my worlds to be their own characters. But doubly so for historical fiction. That wasn’t the case with THE GOLDEN PRINCESS and it really dampened its overall effect for me. I don’t feel like it watered down the story, but it certainly didn’t shine like it could have with the development of Sarah and Ezra’s surroundings. There was a little, but not nearly enough.
The editing wasn’t spectacular either. I’ve seen far worse but what really stood out was multiple instances of using ‘peak’ when it’s supposed to be ‘peek’ (serious pet peeve on that one and it happened A LOT) and inconsistent pluraling using apostrophes. Really glaring on those. And I wasn’t a fan of the phonetic street talk that the urchins had. Really slowed down pacing for me.
The ending is a major issue and I really hate it when books do this. The plot is not resolved at the end. THE GOLDEN PRINCESS is part one. If you want to find out what happens you need to read the next book. I need some resolution in an ending, even if it’s just one thread (and the major one). Nothing. Everything’s in upheaval, shenanigans ensue. Read the next book for more. No. I can’t.
I think THE GOLDEN PRINCESS could have been really good. The plot was definitely captivating and the characters were well developed and went through some great growth throughout the story. But there wasn’t enough world and the story didn’t actually end. It’s a short book. My digital copy came out to just over 200 pages. There was plenty of breathing room there to give the world more flesh and get just a shred of resolution at the ending instead of leaving it all hanging out. The good and the bad just cancelled each other out here.

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
As always, your books are rich and fulfilling. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. It captured my attention from the first paragraph. You're characters are real and fully fleshed out. I loved losing myself in this beautiful story set in Fu Xi's world. I can't wait for the next one.
Keep writing ,Brian, it's what you're meant to do.
Braden takes us back to the rich and wicked city of Hur featured in Black Sea Gods and Tears of the dead, with this prequel, where we learn the origins of Sarah and Ezra, brother and sister born to a noble house, soon to lose all but their lives and definitely their hope for the future, to treachery. The setting only seen briefly in the other books is now on full display as our hunted heroes flee and hide through all its strata.
While I appreciated the grim intensity of the story, it suffers from the fact that the ending is a foregone conclusion, at least for me, having read the other books. It is, however, an excellent entry point into the series, a fast-paced fantasy set in the ancient world.
