Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Laura Thalassa.

A Maiden...

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

A Duty...

The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.

A Kingdom...

Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.

Critic reviews

"Dreamy, twisty, steamy escapism. Take me back!" --New York Times bestseller Wendy Higgins

“Jennifer Armentrout has the power to control my emotions with every word she writes. From swooning to crying to racing through the pages to find out what happens next, I couldn't stop reading about Hawke and Poppy, and you won't be able to either.” --Brigid Kemmerer, New York Times bestselling author of A Curse So Dark and Lonely

"Narrator Stina Nielsen enthralls with this sumptuous romance, which highlights her ability to thoroughly immerse listeners in its fantasy world.… Nielsen employs a wide range of inflections, from the warm, breathless tone of the heroine to the appealing accent of Hawke, the love interest, combining them in the sensual scenes they share." --AudioFile Magazine, An Earphones Award Winner

Let me firstly just stand open mouthed at this ending......YES!!!!! Now to the review.....
Damn does this book hit the stop for fantasy, romance, sexiness, storyline, hot bad boys and everything else you could ever want in a book! I was a bit skeptical when I started as alot of bookies had referenced it as a romance, but Pixie dust it is more than that!!!

The storyline was amazing and flowed like a perfect river into the ocean that was the mystery, world and characters surrounding you. The writing.....I mean do I have to say more than WOW!!! Also....not going to lie...there was definitely some very dirty and hot as hell scenes that a girl will dream of all night and daydream of all day. DAMN! the word...Porn comes to mind is all I say. It just made me love the book even more! Damn that man too.....swoon worth or bed worthy...you take your pick. All I'm saying is...Rhysand you got serious competition!
So. Will I read the sequel? I ordered if while I was half way though the book yesterday....so yes and I'll like to see you try and stop me!

Damn!!!!!

I absolutely loved this. It’s been on my TBR list for so long and I finally went for it. I’m so glad I did.
I’ve read other reviews saying it’s slow going but I enjoyed the pace. I didn’t get bored. It has action, romance, and intrigue. All that good stuff. I love the main characters of Poppy and Hawke. I don’t have a bad thing to say. It’s just fantastic. On to book 2!

So Glad I Finally Read This

When I listen to audible books, I’m looking for a meditative outlet to take my mind off things. The characters are distinctive to distinguish between them. There’s a premise that easy to follow and enjoy. I’ve read a lot of the negative reviews, some of which had grammatical errors. Overall, I believe it’s a tad harsh. This genre is epic fantasy for a state of pure escapism. It’s not always meant to be groundbreaking. I enjoyed the journey. It definitely made the house keeping a lot more tolerable! Thank you x

An enjoyable escapist fantasy!

A good story. I like that information is released slowly (although that may annoy others). I like the the more intimate scenes arent every other chapter! I like the tension built between the two main characters.

I think the narrator was good. Her English accent wasn’t always great but that didn’t bother me too much. It made the character changes very obvious, and there were a lot of characters!

I’ll definitely get the second book

An enjoyable listen
