Coming soon: the new novel from Allen Paul!
My Warrior Queen
A gripping novel from the international bestselling author of Katyn: Stalin’s Massacre and the Triumph of Truth.
Set in Nazi-occupied Poland in 1944, My Warrior Queen follows a London-based forensic archaeologist sent on a covert mission to uncover a buried truth powerful enough to threaten both German and Soviet forces. In Kraków, a resistance radio operator hiding her Jewish identity fights to survive in a city ruled by fear, betrayal, and shifting loyalties.
When their paths collide, truth, resistance, and forbidden love converge in a story of courage, sacrifice, and the cost of speaking when silence is safer.
Allen Paul is the international bestselling author of Katyń: Stalin’s Massacre and the Triumph of Truth, widely regarded as the definitive account of one of the most enduring crimes shaping Russo-Polish relations. First published by Scribner’s, the book became a bestseller in Eastern Europe, was translated into four languages, and received critical acclaim from major outlets including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The New York Review of Books.
His work spans history, culture, and narrative nonfiction. He is also the author of Marching Toward Madness, a five-star–rated examination of how win-at-all-cost sports erode educational and civic values, and From Honey with Love, a forthcoming young adult novel based on a true story.
Earlier in his career, Paul worked as a speechwriter in Washington, including for a presidential campaign, and began his journalism career with the Associated Press. He holds degrees from Guilford College and Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies and was awarded a Fulbright Research Fellowship to research and write in Poland.
