The Ascended (The Aesymarean Duet)
Parker Lennox
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Poppy has spent her life cloaked in the restrictive veil of the Maiden, but the shocking truth of her existence has shattered every foundation she once held sacred. Now held captive by Casteel Da’Neer—the enigmatic Prince of Atlantia and the very man who orchestrated her betrayal—Poppy finds herself thrust into a dangerous world where she is both a weapon and a target. The dynamic between Poppy and Casteel is a volatile dance of defiance and undeniable attraction.
While Casteel views Poppy as the key to his kingdom’s future and a bargaining chip in a brewing war, Poppy is driven by a desperate need to rescue her brother and reclaim her own identity. As they navigate the treacherous path between two warring nations, the lines between enemy and ally blur. Casteel’s seductive promises and lethal secrets threaten to dismantle Poppy’s resolve, even as she discovers burgeoning, volatile powers within herself.
Caught between the looming threat of the Ascended and the dark history of the Atlantian throne, Poppy must decide if she can trust the man who stole her freedom. In a world where blood and betrayal hold the highest currency, the most dangerous choice of all may be surrendering to the desire burning between them.

"I ran across this series as a suggestion on Pintrest. I can't..there are no words for how amazing this series is. It's 50 Shades of Grey, Game of Thrones, and City of Bones thrown into one series. Thick books each between 540-640 pages. I swear you won't feel they are; you will find yourself hanging on every word. I tore through the 1st two books in a week and a half. Already 140 pg into book three. Beware; I have become addicted and stay up way too late every night reading knowing I have to wake up early for work the next day. As soon as work is done, I'm right back to reading. ["
