Poppy never dreamed she would find the love she has with Prince Casteel. She wants to revel in her happiness, but first they must free his brother and find hers. It's a dangerous mission with far-reaching consequences neither anticipated. Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed, the true ruler of Atlantia, who carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. By rights the crown and the kingdom are hers. Poppy has only ever wanted to control her own life, not the lives of others, but now she must choose either to forsake her birthright or seize the gilded crown to become the Queen of Flesh and Fire. As the kingdoms' dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat which will stop at nothing to ensure that the crown never sits upon Poppy's head. But the greatest threat to them and to Atlantia is what awaits in the far west, where the Queen of Blood and Ash has her own plans, ones she has waited hundreds of years to carry out. Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible: travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself--Adapted from front book jacket flap.
