( Let me just say...Hawk *swoon*!!)” ~ NYT bestseller Sarah J. Maas Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros. 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. Reviews for From Blood and Ash: "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 “Action, adventure, sexiness, and angst! From Blood and Ash has it all and double that. So many feels and so many moments it made me cheer for the character. Read. This. Book! You'll be obsessed!” - Tijan NYT bestselling author “From Blood and Ash is a phenomenal fantasy novel that is filled to the brim with danger, mystery and heart melting romance. I loved every single second of it and I couldn’t get enough of this new fantastical world. A heart stopping start to what is clearly going to be a stunning series, perfect for both those who love fantasy and those who are new to the genre. A must read.” Kayleigh, K-Books "If you think you are ready for From Blood and Ash, think again. Jennifer L. Armentrout has woven a new fantasy universe that will leave you reeling.

I loved every single moment and all of the characters are ones you will fall in love with! Jennifer L. Armentrout has done it again with her amazing writing skills and lots of detail! Get this book immediately!!!” - Amanda @Stuck In YA Books “Jennifer has stepped into the fantasy genre with this absolutely amazing novel. With characters you will love and more than a few twists and turns, get ready for one amazing adventure.”-Perpetual Fangirl Review: ** spoiler alert ** *My review contains spoilers.* - ** spoiler alert ** *My review contains spoilers.* This book was amazing. Hawke and Poppy were hot. The romance and chemistry between them was amazing. The banter, incredible. Poppy was headstrong and not a sappy irritating girl that sometimes fantasy romances deliver. She was fierce, demanding (in a good way) and she didn't let anything get to her. She went through abuse at the hands of two awful men, and still kept her head up. She barley whined at her situations but found a way out of them. She is a warrior and isn't afraid and runs head first into a fight. Which I loved. I love headstrong and warrior females in fantasy. The whimpering, simpering female characters bore me so much but Poppy was the opposite. Now the Maiden part, which is the plot of the whole book, still confuses me. I really wish in the beginning that Jen put more on what the Maiden was and what Poppy's part to play was. All I understood in the first half was that she had a very demanding set of rules and had to be extremely celibate and not speak or show her face. But it was never explained why. Just that she was the maiden and it was forbidden to be doing any socializing and reading and being in any explicit content. Three quarters of the way when she is being taken to the Capitol and Hawke and the guard are staying in the village do we only understand her role. That annoyed me. From the beginning I wanted to know what the maiden was not almost 3/4 of the way through. Now Hawke. Wow what a character. Just like Poppy I loved and adored him. The plot twist in the end was great. Something I didn't see coming although I did suspect that he had killed the Duke and the others. Which made me really sad. He knew how much Rylan meant to Poppy yet he still went and did it. Then he flirts with her and makes her believe he is falling in love but knows its forbidden when he literally knows none of it matters because he's going to take her away. The ending had me shocked and kind of mad. He's taking her home just to marry her. He knows how she feels yet takes her away and giving her no choice either, in a way. Just states "To marry." I am not big on manipulative relationships so I didn't like how their ending ended. Although I can not wait for the second book and I hate I have to wait until next year because now I am in a book hangover. But I still love Hawke (wink wink) and Poppy. I am hoping we get to see more of Tawny since she was Poppy's only and truest friend and just upsets me that she had to be left behind. I am looking forward to next year but am wishing that we will get the next book this year even though I know we won't. Ahhhh I just hate book hangovers when it comes to such a great story. Especially with the ending like this one! I just want to know what happens!!! Review: FANTASY ROMANCE WITH A CAPITAL R - Books like FROM BLOOD AND ASH are the reason I became a reader: complex, well-developed characters, immersive world building, scenes so vivid you can see them in your mind, and dialogue full of wit and banter that a smile is plastered across your face from page 1 to page 487. And the romance -- SWOON. I'm so glad I have the second book *immediately* available to me because I don't think I'm ready for the book hangover that will emerge when I leave this world. I'm new to Jennifer L. Armentrout and I feel *deprived* that I've gone 27 years of my life without her writing. I will be immediately reading everything she has ever written and thank the gods she has a long backlist. What an honor it is to find an author like this and to know that she speaks to your soul with her writing. Okay to the review: Poppy is The Maiden, which basically means her life (and mostly her purity) must be protected at all costs. While she is covenanted as the most important person in her society, it often feels quite the opposite because of the boundaries placed upon her. As part of her protection, she is assigned personal security. Enter Hawke Flynn: a sexy, foreign guard who quickly works his way up the ranks to earn the spot of Poppy's personal guard. Unbeknownst to Hawke, he and Poppy have actually met once before when Poppy, whose face is always hidden behind a veil, snuck out one night to "live a little." Poppy is simultaneously terrified of Hawke realizing her identity and absolutely enthralled by this man who is unapologetically himself and seems to want the same from her. Every time Poppy tries to fight her instincts, Hawke is there to remind her that there is nothing wrong with desiring a life filled of joy, freedom, and pleasure. Poppy can't quite figure Hawke out, but there is one thing she is sure of: with Hawke, she always has a choice. The question is: which choice is the right one? Poppy is one of my favorite heroines of any romance or fantasy novel I've read in a long time. She is independent and headstrong, observant and intelligent. She knows what is expected of her but never loses sight of what she wants from life. Despite so many forces trying to deprive her of experiencing life, she does not break. She is the heroine we all need in 2020. And Hawke? DO NOT GET ME STARTED. I love an honorable man but more than that: I love a man who is attracted to a woman's strength; one who does not cower when a woman is stronger, braver, and fiercer than him. With each passing page, Hawke is further surprised, in the most delicious of ways, by Poppy's actions. The banter between Hawke and Poppy is unmatched: an excellent combination of sexual tension, tender moments, and passionate declarations. It is everything. And this leads me to the romance: 10/10. It's the "high stakes will they, won't they" FOR ME. This is how you do a slow burn. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Plot wise: I absolutely loved how this world unfolded before our eyes. Rather than a giant world dump at the beginning, Jennifer L. Armentrout slowly introduces this world to us through Poppy's eyes. I personally find this much more fulfilling because you're constantly building the world as the plot starts to unfold; it makes for a better reveal and more satisfying twists. Highly recommend. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #103,474 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #302 in Vampire Romances #640 in Romantic Fantasy (Books) #1,528 in Romantasy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 17,138 Reviews | ## Images ![From Blood and Ash - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719C-isEuzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ** spoiler alert ** *My review contains spoilers.* *by K***Y on June 1, 2020* ** spoiler alert ** *My review contains spoilers.* This book was amazing.

LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE STAR. *by E***T on November 21, 2020* It has taken me months to write an actual review for this book because I was so overwhelmed with FANGIRL feels that I could not form an articulate sentence about the countless ways this book is everything I ever wanted and didn't know I needed. Hang on to your hats ladies and gents because I am OBSESSED. Like, unhealthy obsessed. Like, have mentioned this book on company calls. Like, have forced four other people to read and it will never be enough. Things I Loved: - Starts with a BANG like hello 0 to 60 in five second flat *pants* - Poppy is such a well-balanced MC, she's a stunning combination of badass, inquisitive, and vulnerable - While we meet our love interest in the first few chapters, the story goes on without him for a bit so we get a good understanding of who Poppy is on her own - Hawke (that's it, that's that bullet) - Sweet friendship between Poppy and Tawny - Loved learning things as Poppy does (even though it was frustrating at times to not fully understand some of the world-building in the moment) - Hawke is a sexy lil feminist and I love him - ALL. THE. BANTER. - Unique take on vampires that honestly left me floored - Hawke - Not only a cliffhanger ending but a double cliffhanger + an UM EXCUSE ME moment (when you know, you know) - Ending strikes a nice balance of questions answered and questions left open - The story stick with you...seriously I was in the shower breaking down what the heck just happened and all the things I need to have happen ASAP in book 2 - Hawke What I adore most about FB&A is Hawke how it isn't just a love story. It is a unique coming of age tale wherein our heroine slowly starts to question the world around her as she grapples with everything she's been denied. Also Hawke. Were there typos? Sure. Did I care? Absolutely not. Overall, new adult perfection. I don't know what rock I've been living under, but prior to FB&A I hadn't heard of JLA or any of her works and I'm struggling to recall how I even came across this one. I remember reading the summary, not really understanding it, but thinking this will probably make its way to the bottom of my TBR but why not. So glad that wasn't the case or else the past few months would look a lot different. You know that feeling when a book comes into your life at exactly the right time? While years later I tend to laugh at what those books are (*cough* Twilight *cough* Fifty Shades of Grey), the power a book has to transport you to another world, distract you for a few hours, or even remind you what is beautiful about the world you are living in now will never cease to amaze me. I count my lucky stars that whenever I'm feeling low the right title somehow makes its way into my hands and breathes life back into me. And that's what From Blood and Ash did. Poppy's story not only consumed my little bookish soul, it served as the gateway drug to all things JLA. The JLAnders and FB&A Facebook groups have been a constant source of joy. I've been a diehard reader my entire life and never seen another community like this. In conclusion, read this book. You won't regret it. Pinky promise. I hope it has one fraction of the effect it had on me. Even if it doesn't, I hope you find the book does. ## Frequently Bought Together - From Blood and Ash - A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire: A Blood and Ash Novel - The Crown of Gilded Bones --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/204219476-from-blood-and-ash](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/204219476-from-blood-and-ash) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
