Binge Read Alert: Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Series: Blood and Ash #1
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.
After finishing ACOTAR... I needed to find a book that brought me to a fantastic world with a kickass heroine and some seriously good mate bonding. Booktok's recommendation of Blood and Ash *SO* didn't disappoint. Poppy's journey from the maiden to a force to be reckoned with blew me away. And Hawke... can't say that I saw that one coming, but I am so glad that it was him. The scorching fire between these two characters ignites the words on the page and like the title suggests... leaves blood and ash in its wake.
