Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes the thrilling conclusion to her beloved Flesh and Fire series…
The line between love and obsession has never been wider.
While Sera is finally free of Kolis and back with those she loves, not everything is calm. Memories of all she’s endured still haunt her, but Sera finally has hope for a future with the other half of her heart and soul. Nyktos desires, loves, and accepts every part of her—even the monstrous bits she still battles.
More than ever, Sera and Ash have everything under the realms to fight for, and Nyktos has no doubt Sera is fit to be the Queen of the Gods. But she must find that faith within herself if they hope to convince the other Courts to support them against Kolis and make Iliseeum and the mortal realm better, safer places for all.
But as Sera begins to piece together the importance of her bloodline and the true meaning behind the foreboding prophecy, it becomes clear that everything that has happened and is yet to come is much bigger than Kolis and his dark obsessions.
They cannot help but wonder exactly how much influence the Fates have had and what their ultimate goal is. What Sera does know for sure is that they can trust very few—including her.
A battle between the gods is brewing, and heartbreaking losses are imminent with the true Primal of Death strengthening. With a family of the heart willing to battle by their side, can Sera and Nyktos stop Kolis before he destroys the realms, or will it all disappear in a fiery inferno of blood and ash?
And the line between justice and vengeance has never been so thin.

1By Minister12997Nothing happens until the last 30% of book. Terrible writing and even worse editing.I cannot anymore
3By bookwhispI have been trying to get through this book for months but it just drags on. I am a big fan of the author and her other works but this book is just the characters talking in circles without the plot being driven forward in significant ways. The X scenes are becoming tired. I rather have a stronger plot. Maybe I just outgrew these types of books—- maybe they’re just not complex enough for me to be interested anymore.It was a good book
5By MoMo9792This one is still a good read, I’m glad they got to some of the good parts of Sera’s story line before ending it.EVERYTHING I COULD ASK FOR
5By Mesha296This book was EPIC!! I absolutely loved every chapter and plot twist. I really enjoyed the one chapter from Ash point of view. Ash definitely deserves his own novel!! Huge fan that literally cannot wait for more!!Long and meandering
4By Eleazar HernandezThe action parts are few and far between, but when you get to them they are good. There is a lot of repetition that had me skimming quite a bit. Lots of dialogue that didn’t need to be there. I did enjoy Reaver and knowing that this is a prequel for the Blood and Ash series.Amazing!!
5By kar3737The wait for this book was worth it!!! It took forever to finish but i finally did it and i was all in, as usual. Im so so super excited for the next book for Poppy n Cas. This one was awesome but i have a feeling the next one will be even better! I hate to see the series end but im excited to see what is next!! Thank you!!Boring
2By mualolaIt feels like I’ve fallen out of love with this series. The pace is too slow, and the plot feels repetitive. I usually finish books in a few days, but it’s been a month and I’m only 25% through. I want to finish it, but it’s just becoming a chore to read.Sooooo freaking good….
5By Chanchan15Completely enraptured….can’t wait for the next one.It was alright
4By maggie44465This book was 90% then having sex and 10% them fighting KolisBeautiful.
5By fultzyyyyI have loved this series from the start and was so nervous for hit to wrap up. But it was so beautifully done, of course. All her books are perfection. I’m now going back to rereading FBAA to connect all the dots.Born of Blood and Ash
5By alyssayoung_220Chefs kiss 🤌🏼🤌🏼 very good read. I wish there were more coming outGreat Ending of a series
5By JRH2907I love watching all the connections between this and the main series and will always love Sera and Ash!Sera and Ash 💖
5By Bruce Wayne 333This finale to the series was absolutely incredible, the plot and the end results I’m just in awe. J. Armentrout is hands down my favorite romanticy writer, she has amazing story lines and developments on top of STEAMY spicy scenes. I wish I could read this series for the first time, over and over… and over and over. This is the flesh and fire series, events taking place before the blood and ash series, you don’t have to read them in that order but it really gives a lot more context for the blood and ash series, BUT on her website it shows you should read a them in a mixed order. Idk but either way FANTASTICI really loved this series📚🍷🥰
5By MonasaderskincareIt was a fantastic read, and I’m curious about how and if this series ties into Wrath and Ruin. I loved this series, perhaps even more than reading about the epic romance between Ash and Poppy. 💞Fantastic couldn’t put it down sobbed when it ended
5By erintevLoved it!Full of fluff, but a conclusion to a great story
3By KTKeaotamaiI’m a loyal reader of Jennifer Armentrout’s Flesh & Fire and Blood & Ash series. I loved the first 3 Flesh & Fire novels, but the conclusion left me wanting. It’s (on my e-reader) an 800 page book, with about 300-400 pages of unnecessary exposition that barely ties in with anything in either series. There are a few exceptions, but almost all the core elements of Sera and Ash’s story, and the answers to questions about Poppy and Cas’s timeline is answered in the first 100 or so pages and the final 300 or so pages. I am a fan of a long book to get as much time with beloved characters as possible, but this just doesn’t serve them. It’s worth reading because it does offer critical insights, and it’s the conclusion to an overall great series. However, for the length of this book, the writer could have cut out half of what is in it and used that time to actually write some of the key life events at the end, rather than squeezing the entirety of the story into the final pages and then cutting off at what seems to be a very odd time for a concluding novel.Born of blood and ash
1By ronin2336700 pages in, and absolutely nothing, total waste of money should just write pornography, wrong kind of fantasyExcellent
5By Katarina3689This book is complex and compelling. It links into the Blood and Ash series with precision. While Blood and Ash will forever be my favorite. Armentrout’s characters deal with real world issues in a fantasy setting in a mature and supportive way. It is a cerebral cornucopia of inner strength and acceptance of personal shortcomings in characters that can literally change worlds while being engaging and entertaining. I couldn’t put it down. Enjoy.Very disappointed
3By She said:Terribly disappointed in this last installment. This book needed to be split into 2 additional books. Clearly you can see that the author was in a rush to end the series. Chock full of disorganized information that you had to sort out in your head. It was rushed, and very condensed. It’s a shame that the author didn’t spend enough time on this as she did with the first 3 books. It simply fell flat for me. Very disappointed.
