Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Laura Thalassa.
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.
The series
The Blood and Ash series has become one of the defining works of romantasy, drawing readers into a world where forbidden desire collides with the weight of prophecy and kingdoms are shaped by secrets as much as by war. At the center is Poppy, a young woman raised under suffocating laws that demand silence, obedience, and isolation. Known as the Maiden, her destiny is said to belong to the gods, yet her restless spirit refuses to be bound by ritual or fear.
Read full series description
What follows is not a simple tale of rebellion but an unraveling of everything she has ever been told about power, faith, and herself. Shadows stalk the borders in the form of the Craven, whispers of gods and primals stir in forgotten temples, and hidden truths claw their way to the surface. In the midst of this unrest, Poppy meets a guard whose loyalty masks dangerous secrets, and the bond that forms between them becomes as treacherous as it is consuming.
The series thrives on its contrasts: tender intimacy set against brutal battles, lush romance entwined with betrayal, divine power tempered by human vulnerability. Readers are pulled into a slow-burning storm of passion and prophecy, where choices echo far beyond personal desire and every revelation reshapes the fate of entire kingdoms.
This is fantasy romance at its most immersive, blending high-stakes intrigue with the kind of raw emotion that lingers long after the final page. For those who crave enemies-to-lovers tension, ancient magic, and heroines who rise from obedience to defiance, the Blood and Ash saga offers a world that feels both perilous and impossible to leave behind.
