Book 7 of the Blood and Ash Series

The Blood and Ash series by Jennifer L. Armentrout, starting with From Blood and Ash , is a sprawling romantasy epic set in the kingdom of Solis, where the veiled Maiden Penellaphe "Poppy" Balfour lives in isolation, destined to Ascend as a divine vessel while grappling with forbidden desires and a sheltered existence under the watchful eyes of the Ascended royals. Assigned the charismatic guard Hawke Flynn, Poppy's world unravels through steamy encounters, brutal Craven attacks, Descenter rebellions, and revelations about the gods-forsaken lands beyond the protective Rise, including the lost kingdom of Atlantia. As political intrigue, blood rituals, and enemies-to-lovers tension with Hawke intensify across books like A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire and beyond, Poppy uncovers her hidden powers, confronts betrayals, and navigates a war-torn realm of vampires, wolven, and ancient curses blending high fantasy action, spice, and emotional depth.
