From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes a new novel in her Blood
and Ash series… This special edition features premium design enhancements—including sprayed
and designed edges a glossed and embossed cover and an original piece of commissioned
artwork. 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.
