Synopsis
A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire continues directly from the first novel: everything Poppy believed about her world, her role as the Maiden, and the man she was falling for turns out to rest on falsehoods she is only beginning to uncover. Removed from the life she knew and delivered among people who see her only as a symbol of a kingdom they consider monstrous, Poppy must navigate deep suspicion and hostility while deciding how far to trust Prince Casteel Da'Neer, whose own motives remain difficult to read. Their uneasy alliance becomes a search for her missing brother, a search that pulls both of them into simmering political intrigue between kingdoms with a long, bloody history, forcing Poppy to reassess who her real allies are as the wider conflict around her sharpens.
