Publisher's summary

Only his memories can save her…

A great primal power has risen. The Queen of Flesh and Fire has become the Primal of Blood and Bone—the true Primal of Life and Death. And the battle Casteel, Poppy, and their allies have been fighting has only just begun. Gods are awakening across Iliseeum and the mortal realm, readying for the war to come.

But when Poppy falls into stasis, Cas faces the very real possibility that the dire, unexpected consequences of what she is becoming could take her away from him. Cas is given some advice, though—something he plans to cling to as he waits to see her beautiful eyes open once more: Talk to her.

And so, he does. He reminds Poppy how their journey began, revealing things about himself that only Kieran knows in the process. But it’s anybody’s guess what she’ll wake to or exactly how much of the realm and Cas will have changed when she does.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout revisits Poppy and Casteel’s epic love story in the next installment of the Blood and Ash series. But this time, Hawke gets to tell the tale.

Critic reviews

“Narrator Tim Campbell returns to the role of Casteel Da'Neer in the fifth book in the Blood and Ash series.… Tim Campbell captures the sarcastic and flirtatious sides of the prince. Campbell's sonorous voice is as easy to fall in love with as the character of Casteel, making Campbell the perfect casting choice.”AudioFile Magazine

“Expertly and vividly performed with the impressive narrative vocal styles of Tim Campbell, this…will have a very special attraction to fans of vampire romance fantasy fiction. Original, self-contained, and a must for the growing legions of Jennifer L. Armentrout fans.”Midwest Book Review

Cliffhanger

Liked Cas’ perspective. It was a good book. It’s a good filler book and the ending to me is a good starter point for the next.

Must read

I cannot get enough of JLA books. I am a die hard fan. Probably never would have read ACOTAR if I was not chasing the high that these books gave me. And continue to give me. Nothing beats this fantasy story.

Unexpected

While this book was unexpected I was still intrigued! I couldn’t stop reading. Only wish we didn’t have to wait for the next book!

love this series but where was the story

I'd be fine with all the rehashing of the first book if anything actually happened while he was talking to her. like it was just so so boring, I knew everything that was going to happen and how it happened already. only the first and last 20 minutes had any new substance. over all extremely disappointing, and I just hope something actually happens in the next book because this was just such a letdown. can not stress how exited I was for this book to come out but I'd rather just reread the first book again then have to sit through it all again with literally less substance. this really felt like a cop out of a book and should of been something that came out later, as like a special addition Cas perspective. time to wait for the actual book three I guess

Engrossing and Delightful

Loved this POV retelling, and I was pleasantly surprised that it added such richness to the story while also sharing new details of the main storyline as well. I wasn’t expecting it to continue the narrative so that was a wonderful treat. Very steamy and well written. I can’t wait for more!
