#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns with book one of the compelling Flesh and Fire series - set in the beloved Blood and Ash world.
Born shrouded in the veil of the Primals, a Maiden as the Fates promised, Seraphena Mierel’s future has never been hers. Chosen before birth to uphold the desperate deal her ancestor struck to save his people, Sera must leave behind her life and offer herself to the Primal of Death as his Consort.
However, Sera’s real destiny is the most closely guarded secret in all of Lasania - she’s not the well protected Maiden but an assassin with one mission - one target. Make the Primal of Death fall in love, become his weakness, and then...end him. If she fails, she dooms her kingdom to a slow demise at the hands of the Rot.
Sera has always known what she is. Chosen. Consort. Assassin. Weapon. A specter never fully formed yet drenched in blood. A monster. Until him. Until the Primal of Death’s unexpected words and deeds chase away the darkness gathering inside her. And his seductive touch ignites a passion she’s never allowed herself to feel and cannot feel for him. But Sera has never had a choice. Either way, her life is forfeit - it always has been, as she has been forever touched by Life and Death.

The audio version was exceptional and Stina Nielsen did an amazing job narrating this book. She brought all the emotions to another level and made this experience even more unique. Perfect combination between story and audio performance.
I was really excited to see how this story will complement the Blood and Ash world but I was not prepared for everything that went down. The tangle of questions unfolded in some areas and in some I’m left with even more riddles to sort out. I’m intrigued and curious how this complex puzzle will be sorted out eventually.
ASITE brought so many new characters to life and they were just as equally loveable as all the others we’d met in the previous books. But the main surprise for me were the main characters.
Sera - she was one of the toughest, bravest and smart-mouthed female Jen has ever written. But at the same time, she had that vulnerable side to her that made you sympathize with her and justify some of her not well-thought actions. And she had so many secrets kept hidden, uncovering her true story would be like unwrapping a well-packed present – exciting, unexpected and surprising.
Nyktos – he was a force to be reckoned with and I was expecting to see him destroy enemies with power and authority. We’d met him briefly in the previous books and he was always mentioned with fear, awe and in reference to someone cold, unforgiving and formidable. What I wasn’t prepared was to see his vulnerable side and look under his frightening façade to the loving and caring man he was. He surprised me on so many levels and there were some twists in his background story that I didn’t see coming at all. He was also funny, witty and was not be crossed in regards to his people cause he was ready to bring justice and fire over those who wronged his loved ones.
Both Nyktos and Sera were true soulmates and complemented each other on so many levels. Their unexpected encounters at the beginning made me grin stupidly. But then their passionate romance swallowed me completely and absolutely sealed the deal for me. I fell in love with that couple and I’m so excited to see how their lives will unfold and join with the rest of our beloved characters from Blood and Ash.
The battles were epic and I had a few nail-biting moments, but the ending was the cherry on the cake and now with all the big revelations, I’m even more excited for the next chapter in this series and uncover more of the mystery behind each character and their role in this spectacular world.
Do not get this book lay in the shadows cause the ember inside the pages would start the true fire that is to come further on the road of this journey. I solemnly proclaim JLA the Goddess of High Fantasy to have created such complex and divine world and characters! This series continues to stake claims in this genre and it’s the best to have come out
