Publisher's Summary

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns with book one of the compelling Flesh and Fire series - set in the beloved Blood and Ash world.

Born shrouded in the veil of the Primals, a Maiden as the Fates promised, Seraphena Mierel’s future has never been hers. Chosen before birth to uphold the desperate deal her ancestor struck to save his people, Sera must leave behind her life and offer herself to the Primal of Death as his Consort.

However, Sera’s real destiny is the most closely guarded secret in all of Lasania - she’s not the well protected Maiden but an assassin with one mission - one target. Make the Primal of Death fall in love, become his weakness, and then...end him. If she fails, she dooms her kingdom to a slow demise at the hands of the Rot.

Sera has always known what she is. Chosen. Consort. Assassin. Weapon. A specter never fully formed yet drenched in blood. A monster. Until him. Until the Primal of Death’s unexpected words and deeds chase away the darkness gathering inside her. And his seductive touch ignites a passion she’s never allowed herself to feel and cannot feel for him. But Sera has never had a choice. Either way, her life is forfeit - it always has been, as she has been forever touched by Life and Death.

I am in love

Do I need to say anything about this one?? I am speechless right now. I listened to the audiobook and I can proudly say that it was the best experience. JLA has a way of mesmerizing you throughout her stories and you just can’t get away once you start it, the Same happened to me. I am in awe of this story from every angle.

The plot is mind-blowing and is executed brilliantly. The audio was breathtaking, the artist did an amazing job. I will say that the last 10 chapters were strikingly fascinating with so much going on and all the revelations on the way but from the moment the book started I was done for. It was like getting lost in a world where I wanted to be someone, to be just a part of that story and experience it all.

Every chapter offers something more than the last one and keeps me hooked. I think I love this pair more than Poppy and Casteel but the margin is very less. JLA brought life to these characters and they feel so real and all magic either good or bad feels real too. Now I can read the next book. This one is getting added to my favorite books. I want to say so much about the characters and story but I will refrain myself because it’s all never-ending praise from me.
