The start of the book didn’t even pull any punches, picking up seconds after where book two had finished and utterly blasting through any possibilities that this might ease into drama slowly. I think this has ended up being my favourite of the books so far. 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.

Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible-travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. And they will stop at nothing to ensure that the crown never sits upon Poppy’s head.īut 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. But as the kingdoms’ dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat. 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. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers.

She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed.

It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. Poppy never dreamed she would find the love she’s found with Prince Casteel.

In fact, I waited up until midnight on release day for this one, waiting for it to load onto my Kindle. This has swiftly become one of my favourite series, and I’ve read all three of them this year. Hello hello and welcome to my review of the third book in the Blood and Ash series.
