"Blood & Ash" and "Flesh & Fire" Series Combo

A STEAMY, high fantasy romance series. Blood and Ash (B&A) follows “Poppy”, a young maiden chosen by the Gods for a life of duty and solitude, and “Hawke", a hot and mysterious guard with secrets. A world full of deadly power, ancient creatures, and forbidden love. Flesh and Fire (F&F) is set centuries earlier, and follows “Seraphena", the first chosen by the Gods, and “Nyktos”, a powerful Primal of Death. Their story uncovers the origins of the Gods, the curse, and the events that shape the future world of B&A. Filled with epic romance, betrayal, and the beginning of the war between mortals and Gods.
