She and Cas must decide to step forward to take over her rightful crown, in order to defeat the enemy. Poppy will embark on a journey to stop the Blood Crown from destroying Atlantia, but first she needs to find a way to meet with the King of the Gods to ask for help, as well learn her heritage and how to deal with her powers.

It will take Cas, Kieran and the other wolvens to find a way to rescue her, and learn more about her powers and true heritage. But many do not respect her, and someone she considered a friend betrays her and puts her life in danger because of her uncontrollable powers, the bond between Cas and Kieren has been broken, as all the wolvens are now fully bonded to her. Though she is now the wife of Atlantia’s prince (Cas), as well as the Chosen one, she is the true ruler of Atlantia, as she carries the blood of the gods. The story begins immediately after the last book ended, with Poppy receiving a harsh introduction to Cas’s parents (The Queen and King of Atlantia), as well as the people of Atlantia. I loved the first two books in this series, and could not wait to read more about Poppy and Cas, and I am happy to say I loved this book even more. Armentrout is the 3 rd book in her fantastic Blood and Ash series. 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. Armentrout – a ReviewĪmazon / B&N / Kobo / Google Play / Apple
