A maiden...

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy's life was never just hers. A Maiden's life is lonely. It should never be touched. It should never be looked at. You never talk to her. Never experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting the evil that took her family, than preparing to be considered worthy by the gods. But the choice was never hers.

A Duty...

The future of the entire kingdom rests on Poppy's shoulders, something she's not even sure she wants for herself. Because a maiden has a heart. And a soul. And desire. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard with the honor of ensuring his Ascension, enters his life, destiny and duty become confused with desire and necessity. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in and tempts her with the forbidden.

One Kingdom...

Abandoned by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once again, determined to reclaim what it believes is its own through violence and revenge. And as the shadow of the cursed approaches, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being deemed unworthy by the gods, but also her life, when all the blood-soaked threads holding her world together begin to unravel.
