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…

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.

[review]
Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance?
A Betrayal…
Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.
A Choice….
Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.
A Secret…
But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.

Review:
Seriously, I started this book the minute I was able to. Work didn’t matter nor did food or sleep. I needed to know just what was going to happen next after the way the Kingdom of Flesh and Fire ended. Only sometimes work and sleep did need to happen so it took me longer to read it, but honestly, you won’t be able to put this book down easily. If you loved the first two books, you are going to love this one.
The Crown of Gilded Bones of course continues where the previous book left and I can honestly say that the first chapters of this book are intense with information, action and a lot of discoveries. You will have your jaw drop quite a few times in just the beginning.
Poppy and Casteel’s relationship is still growing stronger and throughout everything they have to deal with, they keep learning about one another. I feel like they understand each other more and more in each book. It’s not necessarily perfect, but you can’t deny the love these two have for each other.
I particularly felt like we are getting to see a side of Casteel that was more vulnerable in this book and it just added a new layer to this character.
Poppy is still a badass and in this book, she proves just how far she has come since the first book. I loved that even if she had to mature a lot faster due to everything she learned, she still has a naive side that comes with her age and I feel like it makes her real (I really hope it makes sense).
It’s really hard to keep this spoiler free, but just be ready to be tore apart with this book. Jennifer jut knows where to hit us so that it hits us so hard that we have still yet not recovered from reading this book. The feels that this book gave me are so intense.
As usual, you will see new faces and some of them I am still trying to think about what I think of them. I just feel like some characters are less discussed to keep us wondering about them or perhaps, it’s just my imagination, but you will have to judge for yourself.
Honestly, this book is just filled with new information that you don’t have a lot of time to try to think about what it means before something else hits you. Even in chapters that don’t necessarily have something happening will not let you relax one bit.
Jennifer L. Armentrout seems to have the gift to write a book that will make you go through a whirlwind of emotions and will still make us go back knowingly to the world she created to demand to be torn apart just a bit more with each new book.
This is one of my favourite book series of hers and I just recommend to anyone who loves fantasy, romance, a kickass heroine and a story that will keep you guessing until the very end.
Overall, this book was just as amazing if not more as the first two books and I just can’t wait to see what she has in store for the next books.
I was giving an advanced copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
