A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire

Más información sobre el libro

Everything Poppy believed is a lie, including her feelings for the man she was falling in love with. Surrounded by those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she struggles to find her identity without the veil of the Maiden. The Dark One, Casteel Da'Neer, is the greatest danger to her. He wants her to fight him, and she is ready to obey. Though he has taken her, he will never possess her. Casteel is known by many names, his lies as seductive as his touch, and Poppy knows she cannot trust him. He needs her alive to achieve his goals, but he is also her only chance to find her brother Ian and discover if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel brings its own risks, as he tempts her with everything she desires. His plans for her could lead to both unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain, forcing her to reevaluate everything she thought she knew about herself and him. As unrest grows in Atlantia, whispers of war intensify, and Poppy finds herself at the center of it all. The King intends to use her as a message, while the Descenters want her dead. As her abilities to feel pain and emotion strengthen, the Atlantians begin to fear her. Dark secrets, steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms, threaten to surface, and when chaos erupts, it may already be too late.
