About this audiobook

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.

    Great storyline brought to life so well by the reader. I listen to a LOT of audiobooks and she may be the very best at bringing the characters to life.

    I LOVE this saga but this is my least favorite book of it. For someone who has lived a lot of years and 'loves' Poppy, Hawk acts very immature and selfishly.

    Had read reviews that it was a lot of sexual scenes and there used to be but more towards the end of the book. The creativity with the world building is incredible and very intriguing, a very easy book to lose yourself in.

    My goodness this series is intense! I couldn’t stop listening. I seriously listened at every moment I had free time. Most nights I couldn’t sleep because I needed to find out what happened next! Stina Nielsen is an amazing voice actor! This story should be a movie series. Thank you Jennifer for this great story. I’m actually listening again for the second time.

    If you can get over the author naming the heroine Penellafe (yes, it’s pronounced like Penelope, but with an ‘F’), aka “Poppy,” the immediate misuse of the word unconscious for the appropriate word, subconscious, along with the first few chapters being not just boring, but not helpful either, this book is for you. I’m still not quite sure what world the author is attempting to create. In no way does she explain this world at any understandable level. There are seems to be an almost stream of consciousness writing as far as the plot goes and the dialogue between the heroine and her love interest is … if I’m putting it nicely… disinteresting? If you liked ACOTAR or any other type of fae smut, this just isn’t at the same level. It is, however, multi-booked and available in audio, so I will continue to plod on rather than listen to the news or the sounds of my children screaming at each other.

    I loved it!! The few first chapters were a little bit confusing and hard to follow, but I managed to resist the urge to stop. And I couldn’t be more glad with that decision. Poppy is a great character, she is not just some helpless maiden. And Hawk? I can just say OH MY HAWK ;)

    I DNF'd this book twice. I went back a third time and refused to give up. I'm so glad I did. The narrator, Stina Nielsen, is very dramatic and challenging to get used to. She was also the voice of Nesta in ACOSF, and I will forever associate her with that character. If you keep going, The plot will kick in and distract you from the narrator, and then eventually, you won't notice her as much. I like the slow-burn romance and am very intrigued by the male protagonist. He's a good guy and not a good guy, and I like the complexity. It ends on a great cliffhanger, and you will want to read book #2, which is even better than book #1.
