A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire

Why these tropes fit

Poppy’s entire reality is shattered by a devastating betrayal that makes her question everyone and everything she once believed, including the man she was falling for. Thrust into a captive dynamic with the morally gray Prince of Atlantia, Casteel, she must set aside her distrust to partner with him on a quest to find her missing brother, even as their forbidden, charged connection deepens. Caught between two warring kingdoms rife with court intrigue, dark blood-soaked secrets, and the pull of vengeance against the promise of love, Poppy’s growing supernatural power makes her a target for every faction.
