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.

Very rarely am I sucked into a book by the end of the first chapter, let alone by the completion of the first page. Never laid it down.

Profile Avatar Jacqueline D. May 2022

This book captured my attention and I found myself constantly reaching for my head phone when ever I had some down time so I could listen even it was just for 5 mins! Definitely recommend.

Profile Avatar Breanna B. Mar 2022

A good spicy book with a good story.

Profile Avatar Erin S. Jan 2022

A great smutty romance. I really liked the characters, they were diverse and interesting as well as the world building. while you see the plot twist coming from a mile away it is developed in an interesting way.

I picked this when I was searching for a new fantasy book, and did not realize exactly what type of book this was. I was so surprised and LOVED the book. I found myself making time to listen more often than I normally would because I was so invested. I literally giggled out loud quite often and was gripped needing to know what was going to happen next. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen. You won’t be disappointed. Already 1/4 way into the next book. Chefs kiss.

A fantasy romance...I enjoyed it a lot and have downloaded the second book in the series.

Love the twist and turns the feelings

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2022

At first i didnt know if id like it or not, but about 10 minutes in i was hooked. the narrator put the perfeft amount of emotion into the voices and even adds accents which makes it easy to tell who's talking. i love it so far. im already 11 hours in!

Wish I could give this a zero. Awful unless you’re a 5th grade girl. Found this book in the sci-if fantasy listings but it’s definitely a teen book. Tried it for a few hours thinking it would get better but it didn’t. If you’re an early teen girl and want to spend hours listening to teen girl angst then this is the book for you. Otherwise, find something, anything else.

This was an amazing read! I need the rest of the series.

Profile Avatar Christin T. May 2025

I liked it, but didn’t get sucked in enough to finish the series.

Profile Avatar Rachael G. Feb 2025

I had this book on my TBR after seeing it on a Booktok. I finally got to listen to it and I was really sucked into the story. There's action, romance, humor, and good plot. Some of the writing is predictable but still good enough to keep you going through. I'll definitely be continuing this series.

Profile Avatar Amber B. Jan 2025

Absolutely amazing story and narration! If you're thinking about listening, do it!

Profile Avatar Sandra C. Dec 2024

LOVE this whole series! Badass female lead, gripping action, steamy romance... Definitely check out the Prequel series (Flesh and Fire) if you like this.

Profile Avatar Allie H. Jul 2024

I absolutely couldn’t even get through the first 2 minutes bc the voice for this was AWFUL!!! Omg

Profile Avatar Ashley O. May 2024

It took me a little while to get into the book, but then I was hooked! I had no idea this was a series until the cliff hanger at the end

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2024

A fun read, but the plot was lacking. While the story was a fun listen, I felt it was very predictable. Best part was the smut, and let’s be honest, that’s what I was reading it for anyway

Profile Avatar Gabrielle K. Dec 2023

If you like raunchy vampires/werewolf stories, then this is probably up your ally. Initially, I really liked the playfulness between the main characters and that, for once, the female was obviously wanted rather than having your typical dark and elusive character that constantly makes the protagonist pine over them while acting like a cold hearted "bad boy". I was actually excited that this book would be different. It had so much potential. The difference in his character was kind of refreshing as he was very flirty and direct. She was also strong, and I liked her character at the start. However, somewhere along the line, Poppy went from being daring, intelligent, and rebellious to simply put, stupid. As for the storyline itself, it is extremely slow. I could summarise the important aspects of the story within a few sentences quite easily. There is not that much depth or plot twists. The allure is mostly the chemistry between characters. Finally, I am mostly disappointed in the fact that this book does not indicate to the reader before buying it that it is a wolf/vampire story. I am very over that trend so when I eventually found out that is what it is actually about I was quite frustrated that I waited almost the entire book to realise it was just another regurgitated vamp/werewolf story. It was hard not to roll my eyes in the stereotypical events that followed, finding out about that, and the repetitive internal dialogues that went on and on right until the end. I have very little doubt that book two won't follow the same trends as most of the other stories around this topic. I have a few guesses as to where it is heading. However, I accidentally bought that book, so I guess I'll speed it up and see if I'm wrong

Amazing

Profile Avatar Description Label Jul 2023

Yep, I’m hooked. The narrator is amazing too.

Profile Avatar Kirsten A. Jun 2023

I really enhoyed the story, though I do not usually enjoy these types of fantasy romances. The plot and twists were sort of easy to see through from the beginning, and the main character was maybe a bit too naive, but honestly it follows how a teenager might behave so its not really a big deal. The story does not disapoint and I was thoroughly immersed in the story and gobbled it up in just two days. Good read, would recommend

Profile Avatar LessThan3Lacy Jun 2023

I absolutely could not stop with this series. Not so spicy that it takes away from the story. The spice is just right for me and I am a sucker for a good vampire romance.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2023

Was looking for a new adventure book/series. Although it is a catchy and easy read, I was not expecting the amount of soft porn involved. If you are listing to it as an audio book, have headphones.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2023

I saw the plot twist coming from a mile away, but it’s still a captivating story. And the way it ended had me immediately purchasing book 2!

Profile Avatar JennyMay Mar 2023

Once I started listening, I literally couldn’t stop. Usually I only listen on my long drive to and from work and occasionally when I’m cleaning. I had my ear buds in so much my ears hurt lol this book sucks you in and you just HAVE to know what happens next! It’s the kind of book you stay up too late listening to and it gives you exactly what you’re hoping for. I haven’t randomly selected a book this good in a long time.

Profile Avatar Kyle May 2022

Overall not a terrible book. But the writing is juvenile and the narration leaves something to be desired.
