A Soul of Ash and Blood: Blood and Ash, Book 5

"Only his memories can save her...

A formidable primal force has emerged, transforming the Queen of Flesh and Fire into the Primal of Blood and Bone—the true embodiment of Life and Death. The conflict waged by Casteel, Poppy, and their steadfast allies is but the prelude to a greater war. Gods awaken across Iliseeum and the mortal realm, preparing for the impending battle.

However, when Poppy slips into stasis, Casteel confronts the harsh reality that the unforeseen consequences of her metamorphosis may snatch her away from him. Armed with a piece of advice, a lifeline he clings to amidst the uncertainty, he knows what he must do: Talk to her.

Thus, he does. In those quiet moments, he revisits the inception of their journey, unveiling facets of himself known only to Kieran. As he waits for her enchanting eyes to open once more, it remains uncertain what Poppy will awaken to and how much both the realm and Casteel will have metamorphosed in her absence.

In the latest installment of the Blood and Ash series, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout delves once more into the epic love story of Poppy and Casteel. This time, the narrative is entrusted to Hawke, offering a fresh perspective on their entwined destinies."
