I adore the Blood and Ash series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. My first introduction to her was through the Harbinger series, which made me take a full deep dive into all of her work. If you enjoy this stunning series, you’ll love the rest of the books by this amazing author.

If you have been getting into Fantasy Romance Books, better known as Romantasy at this point, then this series will be a great place to start. I also think this is a great series for people who are fans of Sarah J. Maas as well (which, if you haven’t read Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas yet, what are you waiting for?).

Some of these books are available on Everand, so if you haven’t tried them out yet, make sure to get a 30-day trial!

What is the Blood and Ash Series About?

This series by Jennifer L. Armentrout has a lot of twists and turns so I am going to make sure I don’t give away any spoilers while writing this. So, with that in mind, this summary is going to focus primarily on the beginning of the first book.

Our main character, Poppy, has been chosen since she was young to be the Maiden, meaning that she can never be touched, no one can look at her, no one can speak to her, and she must be fully isolated and guarded at all times from the entire kingdom, even those close to her.

All Poppy has to look forward to is her eventual Ascension, where she will be deemed worthy by the gods. All she really wants to do though is fight, instead, she is forced to sit on the sidelines during the day and sneak away at night to help those she can.

But, there’s a boy, who is a new guard at the castle named Hawke, and he has her questioning everything she’s ever known and unveiling some shocking secrets about her own life.

If you like paranormal romance and elements of fantasy while still giving a modern touch to it so you’re not lost in the trenches like your average High Fantasy novel, you’ll love this adult book series. Plus, it has all the romance book tropes you could ever ask for.

Blood and Ash and Flesh and Fire Series Order

In general, Jennifer L. Armentrout loves to have her series intertwine, and these books are no different. I think the best way to read this is by publication. However, I will also include the series order book list for each series if you prefer just to keep it strictly to the series.

If you want to read by series instead, you may get a few spoilers here and there for other books in the same universe.

Flesh and Fire Series Order

There is also a companion prequel called Visions of Flesh and Blood (Amazon) and it is told from the point of view of Miss Willa Collins, so I am excited for the steamy escapism this companion novel will hold.

This captivating and action-packed fantasy romance series is a must-read for anyone looking for an adult fantasy series and you’re slowly trying to dip your toes into high fantasy. I think it’s the perfect middle ground.
