From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes a gripping new installment in her Blood and Ash series. Poppy's world is shattered as everything she believed, including her feelings for a man she loves, proves to be a lie. Now seen as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she struggles to understand her identity without the veil of the Maiden. The Dark One, the Prince of Atlantia, poses the greatest threat, yet she is determined to resist him. Casteel Da’Neer, known for his seductive lies and truths, needs Poppy alive to fulfill his ambitions. Despite her mistrust, he offers her the chance to find her brother Ian, who may have become a soulless Ascended. Collaborating with Casteel is fraught with danger, as he tempts her with desires that could lead to both pleasure and pain. Their connection could bind their fates in ways neither kingdom anticipates. Meanwhile, unrest brews in Atlantia, with whispers of war growing louder. The King aims to use Poppy as a pawn, while enemies seek her demise. As her abilities intensify, fear spreads among the Atlantians. Dark secrets threaten to emerge, rooted in the blood-soaked sins of two kingdoms. With the earth trembling and skies bleeding, Poppy may find herself at the center of a storm that could change everything.

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.
