#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout
returns with book one of the compelling Flesh and Fire series--set in
the beloved Blood and Ash world.
Born shrouded in the veil of the Primals, a Maiden as the Fates
promised, Seraphena Mierel's future has never been hers. Chosen before
birth to uphold the desperate deal her ancestor struck to save his
people, Sera must leave behind her life and offer herself to the Primal
of Death as his Consort.
However, Sera's real destiny is the most closely guarded secret in all
of Lasania--she's not the well protected Maiden but an assassin with one
mission--one target. Make the Primal of Death fall in love, become his
weakness, and then...end him. If she fails, she dooms her kingdom to a
slow demise at the hands of the Rot.
Sera has always known what she is. Chosen. Consort. Assassin. Weapon. A
specter never fully formed yet drenched in blood. A monster. Until
him. Until the Primal of Death's unexpected words and deeds chase away
the darkness gathering inside her. And his seductive touch ignites a
passion she's never allowed herself to feel and cannot feel for him. But
Sera has never had a choice. Either way, her life is forfeit--it always
has been, as she has been forever touched by Life and Death.
