From Blood and Ash
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.Reviews for From Blood and
