From Blood and Ash

From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout is a captivating, steamy, and action-packed fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros.

Though destined for the gods, she yearns for freedom and purpose beyond her sacred role. Her world changes when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard assigned to protect her, enters her life. As desire and duty intertwine, Poppy begins to question everything she’s ever believed.

Meanwhile, a fallen kingdom once forsaken by the gods rises again, threatening the world Poppy knows. As darkness and vengeance close in, she risks not only her heart but her life as the truths of her world unravel.

The novel has received high praise for its romance, suspense, rich world-building, and emotional depth, with reviewers calling it thrilling, addictive, and utterly unputdownable—a must-read start to a stunning fantasy series.
