Publisher Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes a new novel in her Blood and Ash series…
Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance?
A Betrayal…
Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.
A Choice….
Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.
A Secret…
But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
They say that love conquers all. Poppy, the heroine of this wild fantasy romance, agrees—even though her boyfriend literally rips hearts from people’s chests. (As Poppy says, “You can’t spell dysfunctional without fun.”) In the second book of her hit Blood and Ash series, Jennifer L. Armentrout shows us her heroine sorting through her fiery relationship with the dark-hearted Casteel Da’Neer, who has been hiding his true identity from Poppy and murdering anyone who dares defy him. Armentrout subtly hints at what a complex, caring soul Cas is underneath it all, and we loved seeing Poppy and Cas set aside their many differences…especially when things got steamy between them. Get ready for a thrilling and sexy fantasy adventure that will have you leaping to pick up the next book in the series.
Customer Reviews
WOW
Amaziiing, a bit slower in the beginning then the first One But OH BOY IT DOES NOT DISSAPOINT, could LITTERARY not stop reading and the END has me in CHOOOOCKKKKK.
A slow-paced storyline
A slow start, this book carried less intensity than the first. The storyline was not moving along and was marred by stagnant chapters. It is a shame it only picked up the last chapters or so. And the main characters lacked convincing. Let’s hope the 3d book will be better.
