From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout
comes the next novel in her Blood and Ash series...
Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance?
A Betrayal...
Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she
was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of
a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the
Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as
him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him,
and that's one order she's more than happy to obey. He may have taken
her, but he will never have her.
A Choice....
Casteel Da'Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as
seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows
better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to
achieve his goals. But he's the only way for her to get what she
wants--to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a
soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents
its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all
she's ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her
to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force
her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself--about
him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that
neither kingdom is prepared for. And she's far too reckless, too hungry,
to resist the temptation.
A Secret...
But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their
Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very
heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The
Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And
as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen,
the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped
in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to
keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies
start to bleed, it may already be too late.
