Free Audio Book : A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire, By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Does Love Triumph Over Revenge?

A Betrayal...

Everything Poppy believed has crumbled, even her feelings for the man she was falling for. Immersed among those who view her as a symbol of a ruthless realm, she's barely recognizable without the Maiden's facade. Yet what she's certain of is that nothing is as perilous to her as him—the Dark One, the Prince of Atlantia. He commands her to challenge him, and complying with that directive is something she willingly embraces. He may have taken her, but possessing her is out of the question.

A Choice...

Casteel Da’Neer is known by myriad names and wears various masks. His falsehoods are as beguiling as his touch. His truths as tantalizing as his bite. Poppy has learned not to place her trust in him. He requires her to remain alive, well, and whole to achieve his objectives. However, he's the sole means by which she can achieve her aims—finding her brother Ian and witnessing whether he has been transformed into a soulless Ascended. Aligning with Casteel instead of opposing him presents its own set of dangers. He still entices her with every breath, dangling before her all she's ever yearned for. Casteel harbors intentions for her, ones that could introduce her to unimagined pleasure and insurmountable anguish. Intentions that will compel her to see past everything she believed about herself, about him. Intentions that could weave their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is equipped for. And she's far too reckless, too hungry, to fend off the allure.

A Secret...

However, unrest burgeons in Atlantia as they await their Prince's return. Rumors of war have intensified, and Poppy finds herself at the epicenter of it all. The King wishes to exploit her to send a message. The Descenters yearn for her demise. The wolven have become increasingly erratic. And as her capacity to feel pain and emotions burgeons and gains strength, the Atlantians begin to dread her. Obscure secrets are at play, enmeshed in the blood-soaked transgressions of two kingdoms that would go to any length to keep the truth concealed. Yet as the earth quakes and the skies bleed, it might already be too late.
