The Crown of Gilded Bones (Blood and Ash 3).

Bow Before Your Queen or Bleed Before Her

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes the thrilling third installment in the Blood and Ash series, an epic fantasy of love, power, betrayal, and a destiny that cannot be escaped.

She was once the hunted. Now she is the one who must rise.

Poppy never imagined she would find a love as powerful as the one she shares with Prince Casteel. She longs to embrace the happiness they have discovered together, but their journey is far from over. Before they can find peace, they must rescue Casteel’s brother and uncover the truth about Poppy’s own family—a mission that threatens to change everything.

Because Poppy is not who the world believed her to be. She is the Chosen. The Blessed. The rightful ruler of Atlantia. With the blood of the King of Gods flowing through her veins, she carries a legacy that grants her the crown and a destiny she can no longer ignore.

She is the warrior who must choose her crown.

Poppy has always fought for the freedom to control her own life, never wanting power over others. But now she faces an impossible choice: walk away from her birthright or accept her fate and rise as the Queen of Flesh and Fire.

As hidden truths, ancient betrayals, and the dark secrets of kingdoms begin to surface, an old and dangerous force awakens. Those who fear Poppy’s rise will do anything to prevent her from claiming the throne.

She is the heart that binds a kingdom together.

Yet the greatest danger may lie far beyond Atlantia, in the western lands where the Queen of Blood and Ash has been waiting for centuries to set her own plans into motion. To protect their people and uncover the answers they desperately need, Poppy and Casteel may have to journey to the Lands of the Gods and awaken a power that has remained hidden for ages.

With enemies closing in, shocking revelations changing everything, and betrayals threatening the future they have fought to build, Poppy and Casteel must discover how far they are willing to go—for their kingdom, their people, and the love that binds them together.
