A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire

The second installment in the Blood and Ash series follows Poppy, once known as the Maiden, who must come to terms with the lies underpinning everything she believed. Now among people who view her as a symbol of an enemy kingdom, she is caught between distrust and reluctant cooperation with Casteel Da'Neer, the Prince of Atlantia, whose motives remain uncertain. Poppy's own goal is to find her brother Ian and learn what has become of him. Meanwhile, unrest and whispers of war spread through Atlantia as competing factions each seek to use, harm, or fear Poppy, and dark secrets rooted in the histories of two kingdoms threaten to surface.
