Summary

Bow Before Your Queen or Bleed Before Her...

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes book three in her Blood and Ash series.

She's been the victim and the survivor...

Poppy never dreamed she would find the love she’s found with Prince Casteel. She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. The true ruler of Atlantia. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers. 

The enemy and the warrior...

Poppy has only ever wanted to control her own life, not the lives of others, but now she must choose to either forsake her birthright or seize the gilded crown and become the Queen of Flesh and Fire. But as the kingdoms’ dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat. And they will stop at nothing to ensure that the crown never sits upon Poppy’s head.

A lover and heartmate...

But the greatest threat to them and to Atlantia is what awaits in the far west, where the Queen of Blood and Ash has her own plans, ones she has waited hundreds of years to carry out. Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible - travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. And as shocking secrets and the harshest betrayals come to light, and enemies emerge to threaten everything Poppy and Casteel have fought for, they will discover just how far they are willing to go for their people - and each other.

And now she will become Queen...

Critic reviews

"Jennifer L. Armentrout has absolutely blown me away with this entire series! I've turned into a swooning fangirl!"—New York Times bestselling author Larissa Ione 

"Completely unputdownable and utterly unforgettable. Armentrout grabs hold of you from the first page of TCOGB with her flawless storytelling, engaging characters and the unforeseen twists and turns."—New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg 

"I didn't know I could be a bigger fan of this series than I already was, but boy was I wrong. Jen Armentrout surprises me at every page turn with higher stakes, hotter heat, shocking revelations, and a knows-no-bounds love that hits me deep, and I am here for it."—New York Times bestselling author Laurelin Paige

Gripping

I am looking forward to the next instalment and sad that I have finished this one already, since I could not put it down. The main characters are well developed and this is easily the best series yet written by Jennifer Armentrout. I hope many more books are written with these characters , their friends and about Atlantia and the surrounding lands. I am really looking forward to the publication of the next book in the series. The narrator to the audio book is brilliant. Jennifer, I am wishing for at least another two books in this series - minimum! Your tales have kept me sane during COVID.

Steamy but Stretchy

Hot hot hot! Fell asleep in the middle with the complex politics and history, but the last 10 chapters were fun and feisty. Great banter and Stina depicted each character with so much love, lust and loathing that it made me smile. Great job ladies!

Just AHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Not only is this series a fully on guilty pleasant of a book series, but it is also so addictive due to its world, writing style and characters; that I cannot express in words how much I need the fourth book this very second....in fact not even this very second, the very second I finished the last word at the end of the final chapter. Need I say more, though of course I have to say, the ending... I did not see that coming.

Unreal

One of the best series I have EVER read. The author is an extraordinary writer (the voice actor is also an exceptional story teller). this series is what got me back into my deep love of reading. Cannot wait for the next one.
