Summary

Bow Before Your Queen or Bleed Before Her...

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes book three in her Blood and Ash series.

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...

Critic reviews

"Jennifer L. Armentrout has absolutely blown me away with this entire series! I've turned into a swooning fangirl!"—New York Times bestselling author Larissa Ione

"Completely unputdownable and utterly unforgettable. Armentrout grabs hold of you from the first page of TCOGB with her flawless storytelling, engaging characters and the unforeseen twists and turns."—New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg

"I didn't know I could be a bigger fan of this series than I already was, but boy was I wrong. Jen Armentrout surprises me at every page turn with higher stakes, hotter heat, shocking revelations, and a knows-no-bounds love that hits me deep, and I am here for it."—New York Times bestselling author Laurelin Paige

great storyline, not sure bout the main characters

I find the main characters unlikeable for quite a few chapters of this book. I struggled to actually continue listening as, they were annoying me so much. I kept listening however cause, the storyline is fantastic and I have to know how it ends

Steamy but Stretchy

Hot hot hot! Fell asleep in the middle with the complex politics and history, but the last 10 chapters were fun and feisty. Great banter and Stina depicted each character with so much love, lust and loathing that it made me smile. Great job ladies!

Superb narration

Oh! My! God!! That ending! I’m blown away. I thought this was the final book and I’m so glad it’s not!! The story which I thought couldn’t get better just took a turn for something truly epic! Out of this world amazing and when you think you know where this is going Jennifer adds another curve ball!! I’m actually lost for words right now at just how good this was! Damn the only down side is the wait for the next book but as the saying goes ‘All good things come to those who wait’...... but patience is a virtue 😆
This is book 3 so you can’t read without having read the first two, so my advice is go get them now as you won’t be disappointed!
I listened to the audible version which was brilliantly narrated by Stina Nielsen. It was so strange for me as the previous book I just finished had been narrated by her too! I nearly didn’t notice as she did an amazing job with the difference in characters. Both kick ass females but so different yet that little bit of magic she used to bring these girls to life made me check who voiced them. My recommendation is for her as much as it Jennifer and her amazing creation with this series ❤️

Starting to get repetitive

The story started to get repetitive and predictable, however some plot twist towards the end made most of it worth it.
