"War is merely the prelude...

In the fourth installment of the Blood and Ash series by the esteemed New York Times best-selling author Jennifer L. Armentrout, the narrative unfolds with Casteel Da’Neer facing the grim reality that even his unmatched cunning and ferocity couldn't prepare him for the shocking revelations brought forth by the Blood Queen. The scale of her actions is nearly inconceivable.

From the desperation of golden crowns...

Undeterred, Poppy is resolute in her determination to free her King and dismantle the very foundation of the Blood Crown's tyranny. With the formidable might of the Primal of Life's guards at her back and the allegiance of the wolven, Poppy must navigate the complexities of convincing Atlantian generals to adopt her unconventional approach to war. Retreat is not an option this time if she wishes to forge a future where both realms coexist harmoniously.

A great primal power rises...

In tandem, Poppy and Casteel must blend ancient traditions with innovative strategies to safeguard their loved ones and defend the defenseless. However, war is merely the beginning. Dormant primal forces have begun to stir, unravelling the ancient horror that originated eons ago. To halt the ominous course set by the Blood Queen, Poppy may have to confront her deepest fears and embrace the role she's prophesied to play—the Harbinger of Death and Destruction."
