Bow Before Your Queen or Bleed Before Her...

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes book three in her Blood and Ash series.

She's been the victim and the survivor...

Poppy never dreamed she would find the love she’s found with Prince Casteel. She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. The true ruler of Atlantia. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers.

The enemy and the warrior...

Poppy has only ever wanted to control her own life, not the lives of others, but now she must choose to either forsake her birthright or seize the gilded crown and become the Queen of Flesh and Fire. But as the kingdoms’ dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat. And they will stop at nothing to ensure that the crown never sits upon Poppy’s head.

A lover and heartmate...

But the greatest threat to them and to Atlantia is what awaits in the far west, where the Queen of Blood and Ash has her own plans, ones she has waited hundreds of years to carry out. Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible - travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. And as shocking secrets and the harshest betrayals come to light, and enemies emerge to threaten everything Poppy and Casteel have fought for, they will discover just how far they are willing to go for their people - and each other.

And now she will become Queen...

Critic Reviews

"Jennifer L. Armentrout has absolutely blown me away with this entire series! I've turned into a swooning fangirl!"—New York Times bestselling author Larissa Ione

"Completely unputdownable and utterly unforgettable. Armentrout grabs hold of you from the first page of TCOGB with her flawless storytelling, engaging characters and the unforeseen twists and turns."—New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg

"I didn't know I could be a bigger fan of this series than I already was, but boy was I wrong. Jen Armentrout surprises me at every page turn with higher stakes, hotter heat, shocking revelations, and a knows-no-bounds love that hits me deep, and I am here for it."—New York Times bestselling author Laurelin Paige

Absolutely amazing!!!

It really doesn’t get better than this! I was so excited to finally read this book and I could continue my journey with Casteel and Poppy as they traveled through the Kingdoms of Solis to their final destination, the Kingdom of Atlantis.

Returning as newlyweds, Casteel and Poppy soon discover that trouble follows them wherever they go... and the challenges facing them will be deadly and ultimately life changing! Sooo many things happens in this book that will leave you amazed, speechless and desperately craving for more! And, with the help of narrator Stina Nielsen, I was able to immerse myself into this amazing series and me lose myself for approximately 25 and a half hours of narrated bliss! Bring on Book Four!!!

Keeps you engaged

A great book that has so many twists and turns and keeps you engaged every step of the way.

I never listen to books twice but I certainly will for all 3 of these.

Well worth the purchase

Amazing & Thrilling

I absolutely love this series and sad I now have to wait for the next installment. Something that makes this book so good is the passion the narrator puts into the performance and characters. A definite must read and re-read. I may just start over again

Excellent

If you liked the first two, then you will love this book. Definitely a bit more raunchy then the first two, but not at all repetitive like the reviews suggest

Narrator ruined this for me…

Another great story by JLA, although this story dragged a little at times. But still enjoyable. The narrator and the tones she chose to use were annoying. And the voice she did for Casteel was not manly at all. Did not match up with the character I felt. Will go back to reading the book from now on based off the back of this audio.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

👍🏼 this series is enjoyable and engaging.
It makes me wonder why it’s not getting as much traction as those mediocre ones they hype up on TT.

I enjoyed the fast moving story line

I got a bit tired of the repeated sex between the main characters but the story line was interesting and entertaining
