Binge Read Alert: The Crown of Guilded Bones

 

Series: Blood and Ash #3

She's been the victim and the survivor…

Poppy never dreamed she would find the love she’s found with Prince Casteel. She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. The true ruler of Atlantia. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers.

The enemy and the warrior…

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. But as the kingdoms’ dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat. And they will stop at nothing to ensure that the crown never sits upon Poppy’s head.

A lover and heartmate…

But 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. Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible—travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. 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.

And now she will become Queen.

OH. MY. GOD. Seriously? Nearly 24 hours without sleep… and that ending. I think Jennifer is trying to kill me.  There’s zero way I can go to sleep now.  My heart is literally shattering inside of my chest with the cliffhanger ending. 

Poppy is so much more than I could have imagined in her humble beginnings as the Maiden.  The one who spent her entire life on a pedestal waiting to be sacrificed.. and now…, well, I can’t tell you if you haven’t read the other two books.  Let’s just say that.. Poppy had a serious glow up.  Big time.  Poppy and Casteel have engrained themselves into my soul and now I must wait until March to read the next book. 

Is it March yet because… I doubt I’ll be able to read anything else until I have that book in my hands.  This is going to be my worst book hangover in a VERY long time.
