Publisher's Summary
#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns with book one of the compelling Flesh and Fire series - set in the beloved Blood and Ash world.
Born shrouded in the veil of the Primals, a Maiden as the Fates promised, Seraphena Mierel’s future has never been hers. Chosen before birth to uphold the desperate deal her ancestor struck to save his people, Sera must leave behind her life and offer herself to the Primal of Death as his Consort.
However, Sera’s real destiny is the most closely guarded secret in all of Lasania - she’s not the well protected Maiden but an assassin with one mission - one target. Make the Primal of Death fall in love, become his weakness, and then...end him. If she fails, she dooms her kingdom to a slow demise at the hands of the Rot.
Sera has always known what she is. Chosen. Consort. Assassin. Weapon. A specter never fully formed yet drenched in blood. A monster. Until him. Until the Primal of Death’s unexpected words and deeds chase away the darkness gathering inside her. And his seductive touch ignites a passion she’s never allowed herself to feel and cannot feel for him. But Sera has never had a choice. Either way, her life is forfeit - it always has been, as she has been forever touched by Life and Death.

Fits in with the blood and ash series
Great value for money in length set in a fantasy world where gods, undead and vampire like creatures live among and along side mortals lots of twists a turns. A story of secrets and future generations paying for the sins of their fathers. Well worth the read

fantastic Novel
great story line read by the best narrator I've found on here. really enjoyed the plot, didn't find it dragged too much. sometimes her conversations to herself felt like they were too frequent and repeataive but when the drama ramped up the twists kept coming. if you like Sarah J maas you'll enjoy this!

Fantastic story, minor gripe relating to story structure (minor structure spoiler alert)
Love this world and book — engaged and addicted to it throughout. Minor story structure SPOILER incoming: it is almost a carbon copy of the blood and ash storyline, just with different characters and set in a different time. Would have preferred more originality in that regard, but otherwise was an enjoyable read.

Loved it
Loved it! So disappointed that it’s the first book I’ve “read” in over 6 years and it just happened that the second book hasn’t been written yet lol but luckily it is a pre sequel so I’m off to read those :D the Narrator is excellent! Thank you

Thank the gods for Stina
Where to start! I really enjoyed the four books of Blood and Ash! They are not brilliantly written however, Stina’s telling of them is masterful!
This book was poorly written, with many flaws… Ancient times with lace under garments, shoes and boots, electricity etc… I struggled! Then there was all the modern slang!!!
I accept that inconsistency happen, but if we are in the times of the gods, we are in the times of no lace, silk or boots! Or we are in a parallel universe! One or the other, but not both!
So thank the gods for Stina! Otherwise Iwould never had made the end and while I know the outcome of these books, I want to follow Ash and Sera’s story! Simply because of Stina!!!
