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

great storyline, not sure bout the main characters

I find the main characters unlikeable for quite a few chapters of this book. I struggled to actually continue listening as, they were annoying me so much. I kept listening however cause, the storyline is fantastic and I have to know how it ends

Stunning!!!!

if I could award this audio book a hundred stars I would . Not only has Jennifer L. Armentrout written a a fantasy so sensual in it's love story as it is brutal in it's battles, it has been expertly and sensitively brought to life in this audio book by a superb voice actor not afraid to live the character"s lives. I thank Stina Neilson for making the 25 hours it takes to listen to this epic story hours I will readily relinquish to listen all over again.

A surprisingly enjoyable read

I didn’t enjoy the first two books as much as I expected too, I liked them but I didn’t love them. I wasn’t sure whether to bother with this one as I had heard reviews about it being quite slow. I completely disagree, I found it much more interesting than the second, or maybe I’m just used to Jennifer’s writing style now but I thought this was her best one yet. Maybe it’s because it had more Kieran in it 🤷🏼‍♀️ My only criticism is the amount of times Willa’s diary is brought up. Can someone chuck that damn diary in a bush or something because it was fun at first but now I just want to strangle Cass every time it’s mentioned (which is A LOT) 😂
