A Soul of Ash and Blood

Told largely from Casteel's perspective, this installment in the Blood and Ash series unfolds as Poppy falls into a stasis while transforming into a powerful primal being. As gods awaken and a larger war looms across the mortal realm and Iliseeum, Cas keeps a vigil at her side, following advice to speak to her. He recounts the beginnings of their journey together and shares details about himself, while remaining uncertain about what will change—and what she will wake to.
