Part of Blood and Ash
First published 2021
Poppy has found unexpected love with Prince Casteel, but their happiness must wait. They need to rescue his imprisoned brother and locate her missing sibling. The mission reveals a stunning truth about Poppy's identity. She carries the blood of the King of Gods and holds the rightful claim to Atlantia's throne as the Chosen and the Blessed. Poppy never wanted to rule others, only herself, yet now she faces an impossible choice. She can abandon her birthright or accept the gilded crown and become the Queen of Flesh and Fire. Ancient enemies will do anything to prevent her coronation. The greatest danger comes from the west, where the Queen of Blood and Ash has spent centuries planning her revenge. Poppy and Casteel consider a desperate gamble. They might travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. Betrayals surface and secrets emerge that threaten everything they have built together. They must decide how much they will sacrifice for their people and for each other.
