A Crown of Ruin

A Blood and Ash Special Edition Novella (Blood and Ash)

By: Jennifer L. Armentrout

Narrated by: Stina Nielsen, Tim Campbell, Dane Williams

When everything falls apart, the truth of who they are is revealed.

Poppy has fallen into stasis, her body broken and power spent, carried beyond the mortal realm. While she lies suspended in dreams, Casteel faces a world without her—raw, wrathful, and altered in ways he doesn’t yet understand.

Left to steady a kingdom trembling under the weight of loss, Kieran shoulders what he cannot say aloud, even as the fractures between gods, mortals, and fate widen around him.

In the days that follow, grief becomes a guide, loyalty a burden, and love the only thing holding the realms together.

These are the pieces that fill the silence. The moments of wrath, ruin, resolve, and the spark of what must come next.

A Crown of Ruin reveals the unseen moments of love, loss, and change that happened between The Primal of Blood and Bone and The Throne of Bone and Ash.

Happy To Have More

so glad Jennifer blessed us with some more time with my trauma drenched favorites ♡
love this messed up bunch

cas and Kirean

i love that this was added still wanted more. and really hope they get there heads together. I hope Sarah or ash can tell them their story. maybe cas could process his feelings better.

Loved it!

I cannot wait for the next book! One of my al time favorite stories ever! 💋

I’ve always loved Poppy, but….

I think she is smarter than she has acted in this book and the previous one. She even has added smarts after her primal ascension but is confused why cas reacts the way she would also react if he did the same to her. I don’t even typically leave book reviews, and I LOVE this series for years and years but why has my girl’s intelligence regressed like this 😭 she has been such a relatable main character until this book and the previous

Fill in some blanks!

I liked how this short part, of the larger story filled in some missing details about the main characters and how they played into the main body of the whole series! Well done, well done!
