Publisher's Summary
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.
Critic Reviews
"Dreamy, twisty, steamy escapism. Take me back!" --New York Times bestseller Wendy Higgins
“Jennifer Armentrout has the power to control my emotions with every word she writes. From swooning to crying to racing through the pages to find out what happens next, I couldn't stop reading about Hawke and Poppy, and you won't be able to either.” --Brigid Kemmerer, New York Times bestselling author of A Curse So Dark and Lonely
"Narrator Stina Nielsen enthralls with this sumptuous romance, which highlights her ability to thoroughly immerse listeners in its fantasy world.… Nielsen employs a wide range of inflections, from the warm, breathless tone of the heroine to the appealing accent of Hawke, the love interest, combining them in the sensual scenes they share." --AudioFile Magazine, An Earphones Award Winner

Amazing story and brilliant narration!!
What did I just read or rather listened to?? I kept seeing this book everywhere and I can say yes it is Bookstagram made me do it. I did not what to expect and it was nice to go in blind.
This book has everything ranging from amazing characters, great plot, action, romance, betrayal, detailed world building. The writing is impressive and captivating, so are the characters.
Poppy is a person I could relate with respect to others controlling the way she has to live her life. She is known as the Maiden or the Chosen. She is strong, brave, smart and so much more with being somewhat a rebel and doing things she isn't supposed to. I love her for that.
Hawke, now I know what it is all about. A perfect boyfriend material. It is hard to not fall in love with him. He is all the right things. A bit of arrogance with an easy going personality, funny, sexy and knowing what he wants. The relationship between them with sizzling chemistry and witty banter, I am all up for it.
The twists and turns, the complexity of characters, the world built makes this book more fascinating and intriguing. The story is intense, passionate and will keep you hooked.
I picked up the audiobook for this one and wasn't sure but it turned out pretty good. The narration was great. I really enjoyed and loved this book. Can't wait to read/listen the next in the series. Go ahead and read this, you will love it, hoping so.

Like it a lot!!
soo the thing is it was quite a bit predictable towards the end.
Also I don't get how this one was called steamy coz this was honestly quite clean lol.
now some people say there's no plot and all but seriously this is the first book in the series, so it basically worldbuilding. a whole lot of it.

An extreme letdown
While the performance is ok, the story or the plot literally starts and ends nowhere. The book is unbearably long and extremely repetitive. By the end, it was just grating on my nerves. I am not somebody who likes to skip ahead or leave parts unread in a book but I did with this one. Skip it.

Twilight set in a fantasy world
I really liked the narration but the plot line is absurd and charecters come and go without any details, the details history of the kingdom and the description of the kingdom itself is very vague and unimaginable. Don't even want to read the second book.

Its a different world
I honestly would not have read it, if not for the audiobook. It felt too dragged and slow with the pace of the story…peaked my interest after the revelation. But too late in the game to make it interesting, it obvious that the author planned to spread the story across trilogy or more. Interesting world but an extremely sliw one for me..

Mills&Boons
Was never a fan of the M&B versions. Good performance. But the plot was hardly half a page. There was some promise but it was all about character building rather than the story itself.
