Jennifer Armentrout’s From Blood and Ash, a 2020 Goodreads Choice Award-winner, is set in the mythical kingdom of Masadonia, where Poppy Balfour—the ‘Maiden’—has been chosen from birth as a sacrificial figure who will usher in a new era. Veiled, silenced and isolated as she waits for her Ascension, Poppy finds herself longing for the life that she cannot have. Only able to sneak brief moments of freedom, Poppy finds herself increasingly conflicted when Hawke enters her life—a golden-eyed, sharp-tongued guard tasked with protecting the Maiden’s virtue, but who ultimately makes Poppy question everything that she has ever known. Like A Court of Thorns and Roses, this is a book that will make you swoon. Sarah J. Maas herself was among the writers who have endorsed it.
