Publisher's summary

Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Laura Thalassa.

A Maiden...

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

A Duty...

The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.

A Kingdom...

Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Great

This is one of my favorite books ever so I was a little worried about this Version and I just love the original narrator so much. Happily all the worrying was unnecessary. All of the Voice actors did a great job bringing the characters to life and I really enjoyed them. Can’t wait for the second half

Pronounce the names right!!!

I am VERY disappointed by the dramatized adaptation. The voice actors repeatedly mispronounce the names of the major places in the book, such as Masadonia and Carsodonia. They leave out the letter i and say Masadona and Carsodona. I've listened to the books on regular audible, and these words are pronounced with the "i". They also mispronounce the names of some of the gods, as compared to the book and other audio recordings. For an avid JLA fan, it's very frustrating!

Love it so far…

I don’t like having to wait two months for the next installment. Having half the book and not being able to listen to the rest all at once is annoying. Nevertheless I look forward to listening to the second half

Solid start and I imagine it’ll get better the farther into the series we get!

The full cast narration is good! My only complaint with that is randomly the dialogue is spoken like the characters are speaking into microphones (similar in other books when characters are speaking mind to mind) but there doesn’t seem to be a reason behind this and then randomly it goes back to normal.
Don’t have any complaints about the story itself, I imagine things will pick up with the second half!

Fantastic! Love, Love, Loved!

I am a huge fan of the Graphic Audio books and am also a huge fantasy romance reader so when they nail a book it's like Christmas!! My biggest concern with such a beloved series of mine was if the voice actor choice were gonna ruin it for me and was pleasantly surprised they picked absolutely perfect in my eyes. Thanks again graphic audio for another great take on an amazing series!
