Poppy, Casteel, and their friends travel near and far throughout the From Blood and Ash series. However, readers should be aware that this does change as the series continues where a lot more steamy scenes are included.īecause of this I would say that this series is for readers 17 and over but it’s ultimately up to the reader.

Poppy is 18 years old when we first meet her in From Blood and Ash which is a relatively tame book in terms of any open door bedroom scenes. While the From Blood and Ash series is considered a young adult romance some of the later books in the series definitely venture into the more mature romance category. Mixing elements of fantasy and paranormal romance, this series also brings in many romance book tropes including enemies to lovers, forced proximity, slow burn, strong heroine, and royal romance to name a few. Yet one night she rebels from the burdens put upon her and finds herself in the company of Hawke, a new soldier in her Royal Guard.įrom their first meeting, Poppy and Hawke (Casteel) become forever entwined in a battle to free their lands from the wretched Queen while falling in love in the most epic story tale romance.īut as truths are revealed and enemies fought and conquered, they soon discover the path to their goal of peace is not fought without consequences. The castle is essentially one big prison cell as she’s cloistered away and prevented from talking to anyone, reading anything enjoyable, and doing anything remotely fun because she’s the Maiden. The From Blood and Ash series focuses on a young maiden, Poppy who has grown up within the confining walls of a castle. In addition to her writing, Armentrout is the owner of Apoll圜on, a multi-day, annual event held in Washington DC where readers can meet hundreds of authors, publishers, and vendors.

I love how she uses her platform as a popular author to bring awareness and educate others on retinitis pigmentosa, a group of rare genetic disorders that she was diagnosed with in 2015.

While many of these books were published before the From Blood and Ash series, this book series skyrocketed her popularity among romance readers, fantasy readers, and young adult readers alike.

She has written over 65 books in the young adult paranormal, fantasy, science fiction, and contemporary romance genres, and many more under her pen name J. Armentrout is a force when it comes to writing. New York Times bestselling author, Jennifer L. The Author of the From Blood and Ash Series: Jennifer L.
