USED: From Blood and Ash

Poppy has never owned her own destiny. Chosen from birth as the Maiden, she exists in isolation—untouched, unspoken to, unseen—preparing for an Ascension that will determine the kingdom's fate. Yet beneath the sacred constraints lies a heart with its own desires, and a spirit yearning to fight alongside the guards against the darkness that destroyed her family. When a forbidden connection threatens everything she's been taught to believe, Poppy must navigate the collision between duty and desire, between the role imposed upon her and the life she might choose for herself. Captivating and action-packed, this sexy, addictive fantasy from the bestselling author delivers the high-stakes romance and world-building that captivates fans of Sarah J. Maas and Laura Thalassa, proving that even the most constrained hearts can ignite with unexpected passion.
