From Blood and Ash

Chosen from birth, Poppy lives behind a veil of duty and secrets, bound to a destiny she never chose. Guarded by a stoic warrior whose presence sparks forbidden curiosity, she’s torn between the safety of rules and the pull of a world she’s never been allowed to touch. As whispers of unrest grow and ancient forces stir, desire and danger collide, pushing her to question everything she’s been told—about honor, fear, and herself. From Blood and Ash blends sweeping fantasy, slow-burn romance, and razor-edge tension into an addictive beginning to a bold saga.
