Blood and Ash
Also known as FBAA.
Some destinies are chosen. Others are shackled to fate.
In a world where gods have long been silent and kingdoms are built on secrets, Poppy’s life has never been her own. Marked from birth as the Maiden—a symbol of purity and divinity—she has been cloistered away, forbidden from forging bonds, speaking freely, or even experiencing the world beyond whispered prayers. But beneath the weight of duty, something restless stirs. A hunger for more. A defiance that should not exist.
When a shadowed warrior with a knowing smile and lethal skill steps into her path, the walls around her life begin to fracture. What starts as an unraveling of her role soon becomes a war against everything she has been told to believe. Gods awaken. Monsters lurk beneath polished crowns. And the truth of who she is—and what she is capable of—could ignite an empire or bring it crumbling to its knees.
Darkly seductive and richly immersive, this series blends high-stakes romance, pulse-pounding action, and a mythology woven with betrayals and prophecies. For those drawn to epic fantasy worlds teeming with intrigue, passion, and the razor-thin edge between love and destruction, this journey is irresistible.
The question is not whether Poppy will rise. It is what she will become when she does.
Blood and Ash consists of five primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of three more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
