About this listen

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

Continued from my previous review because I’m a dork and I’m so embarrassed. I can’t believe I wrote the wrong name of the book title.

Since you can’t edit your review, I’m being a serious nerd, writing another and correcting the error in my last sentence. 🤦‍♀️

Amazing story I loved it so much and I can’t wait to read/listen to the next book. Stina did such an amazing job narrating. So many narrators make men’s voices cringy or annoying but she made Casteel sound sexy and made it easy to tell the difference between all the different characters. So we’ll done Bravo!

Bravo!!!

I couldn't put this book down - figuratively speaking. It was SO good!

I was surprised to discover some sexy stuff that to me didn't belong in what I thought was a YA book. I checked and that is what it says it is: YA Fantasy. I didn't mind the sexy bits 😊 and they fit the story - my argument is now with how the bookseller is marketing it. Otherwise 5 stars for a great story.

Loved the narration, too except the male voices were pretty much all the same so I sometimes had trouble tracking them.

Kept me "turning the pages!"

When I saw in the description that this book would be loved by readers of Laura thalassa and Sarah j maas I was doubtful, but I ate this book up like cake. So glad to have found this series!

Wow just wow

A unique twist on a common fantasy that leaves you breathless and writhing. I loved every bit of this book! Suspenseful and conquering story with emotional never ending surprises that keep you pulled in the entire time! This is a book I will probably listen to again and again with obsession once I get through the rest of the series!
