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.
My Thoughts
The cover has finally, FINALLY been revealed. And IT IS B-E-A-UTIFUL.
I thought for sure it would be black, but it’s white! So pretty. I’m extremely
excited JLA is releasing these books every six months, though I’m not sure if
the release schedule for books three and four will have the same schedule. I
really hope so.
But anywho, this is going to be part of my birthday present
to myself. I’m going to preorder AKOFAF and order a print copy of From Blood
and Ash. There’ll be a few more titles in the order, but these are the ones
I’m most excited for. New adult fantasy romance is the best. I wish it was more
mainstream in the publishing world.
What book are you
waiting for this Wednesday?
GREAT pick!!! I still need to read the first book, but that never stops me from wanting the second one! Especially if it's JLA! Lol!
