About this book
Poppy Balfour is no longer the sheltered Maiden of the past. Having embraced her true identity and her intoxicating, soul-deep bond with the seductive Prince Casteel, she finds herself at the center of a brewing war. No longer a victim, she is the Chosen, the rightful heir to the Atlantian throne, and a woman who must decide if she is ready to wield the power of the gods to secure her future.
This gripping addition to the Blood and Ash series masterfully blends high-stakes urban fantasy with the addictive tension of an enemies-to-lovers romance. As Poppy and Casteel navigate a landscape of crumbling kingdoms and ancient, blood-drenched secrets, their slow-burn connection faces its ultimate test. Together, they must risk everything—including a perilous journey to the Lands of the Gods—to protect their people from an adversary who has waited centuries to claim the throne.
If you are craving an epic romantasy filled with royal intrigue, supernatural stakes, and enough spice to keep you breathless, this is your next obsession. Jennifer L. Armentrout delivers a high-octane narrative where trust is a luxury and betrayal is a constant shadow. Prepare to be held in a total chokehold as the fate of two kingdoms hangs in the balance.

EPIC. This book is absolutely epic. I was gripped by the plot, the characters, the development, the romance, the spice. Everything about this book had me in an absolute chokehold and I freaking love every single heart-pumping moment. I love Casteel. His smirk, his arrogance, his heart, his dirty flirting, how he cares for Poppy and his friends. He is my favorite fantasy book boyfriend. And I adore Rhysand. (maybe a tie, but seriously, Casteel is everything). And Poppy? Her transformation from...

The Crown of Gilded Bones is the third installment in the From Blood and Ash series, and should not be read as a standalone. From Blood and Ash was a surprise release from JLA last year that brought about a whole new world and set of characters. We were lucky to receive the second book only a few short months after the first. It took a bit longer to receive the third book, but not as bad as the full year I used to have to wait between Lux Series book releases. That was a real struggle. I’m...

Well, that was exciting! I can not wait for the next book. I thought it was a trilogy and now I learned there are going to be six books! I do hope the next book is the end for our main couple and maybe there is room for other characters to find happiness (*cough - Kieran - cough*) or not. Whatever, JLA decides, I'm still going to be reading it. So, we were left with a huge cliffhanger on the second book and The Crown of Gilded Bones begins right after. The first few chapters were action-packed...
