Novel: Heat of the Everflame by Penn Cole “I used to play a game where I would change the topic to see how long it took before my brother brought you back up. It never took more than three sentences. He had it bad.” Lily tells Diem.Luther also keyed the blood lock of his rooms to open to only himself and Diem. That’s a big red flag to her that he suspected he might not return alive from rescuing her. Diem doesn’t know what breaks her heart more: the fact Luther was suffering alone in silence or the fact he was only truly happy for one night or the fact that this devoted, sacrificial man is doomed to death. Grab your tissues because this stretch of chapters is full of high intensity action.

As Queen, Diem is the most powerful magic user of Lumnos— Realm of Light and Shadow. Unlike the rest of the Descended in Lumnos, she can also access her full magic on other realms because she’s a Crown. However, something never heard of is happening to her. First, she burst into flames (and didn’t die) when she entered Ignios, Realm of Sand and Fire. Suddenly, she can use powers exclusive to Descended from Ignios. Now, Diem crosses into Umbros, Realm of Mind and Secret, with her friends. Ever since they arrived, it’s so noisy but the rest of her friends say it’s not. She finds herself able to telepathically speak to people, see people’s memories, secrets and craft impenetrable mental shields. Yet she absolutely refuses to intrude on the privacy of the man she loves— although her instincts are screaming at her to— and that might be her greatest mistake.

A man stabs Taran with a godstone spear. Not deep enough to kill; that would be too easy. This man wants Taran to suffer a slow, painful death from an injury he can never recover from. Taran and two others came to save their queen, Diem, from the hands of these people. Through the entire rescue, Diem was all about, “Don’t let the hate be an endless cycle. They’re only acting because they’re angry. Don’t hurt them, let’s just get away from them.”That they did but these hate-filled men didn’t let go. They quietly tracked Diem and her friends down several hours later with intent to destroy all. Worst of all, Diem and her friends are now completely at their mercy.

A gryvern— a ferocious rare creature that breathes fire and has almost impenetrable skin— is descending on the camp of the Guardians. Riding on the gryvern is one of the deadliest Descended men in the entire Emarion. Instead of fear and running for cover, there’s grim determination on the Guardians’ faces. This is why they’ve been holding the queen hostage and keeping her heavily drugged. The guardians have gone through the trouble of obtaining centuries’ old weapons to kill the gryvern as it’s come to save its queen. They also have godstone that will kill the man slowly and painfully. No matter how much the queen begs, pleads or tries to negotiate, they don’t listen to her. They push her into the mud, crush her ribs, cut her skin open and bash her head. The worst part of everything? She’s never hurt them, doesn’t want to and has only worked to help them.

This is Emmaline.Her memories were wiped and in the years that followed, her birth parents kept her underwater and used her psychokinesis abilities for mass mind control.

It’s not standard savior behavior to toss someone into a filthy dungeon. But Hawke had no other choice. Either that or further risk Poppy’s life. He comes visiting, promising that if she behaves, she’ll get better accommodations. She swears she hates him and regrets everything with him. He pretends he’s unfazed but ouch. Launching into a history lesson, he opens her eyes to a whole new world. Her way of repaying him? You won’t see it coming.

“Have anyone of you seen Hawke? He was called away in the middle of the night.” Cue: awkward silence as three pairs of male eyes are trained on the Maiden who isn’t… anymore. Poppy finally braved it and did what she’s been dreaming about all along - a decision she made for herself. As the Maiden, her entire life has been dictated for her with no way out. But due to threats on her life, she embarks on an unexpected journey that provides a tiny opening for something different. Poppy grabs it, completely in love with Hawke and fully trusting him. The next morning, her life and those of her travel companions are in danger but Hawke is missing. Is he in danger or the danger?

Tonight is Poppy’s first attendance at The Rite, an annual celebration held in the Kingdom of Solis. Before now, she wasn’t allowed to attend because she’s the Maiden. She’s currently 18 and once she’s 19, another Rite would be held where she would be the central event. Poppy refuses to think about any of that. She pretends she’s a regular teenager enjoying an evening out. But things are about to take a drastic turn. There are attacks, lives lost but all that chaos doesn’t touch Lord Mazeen, Poppy’s bully. It’s up to her to inflict it on him. It should be impossible but this is what it takes…Jennifer L. Armentrout- From Blood and Ash

In the past few years, Poppy has had three bodyguards and a Lady-in-waiting. They attend to her, care for her and might even love her. However, they cannot do a thing whenever the Duke calls her to his office for “lessons”. They also watch helplessly whenever the Priestess slaps her repeatedly for doing, well, anything at all.Poppy is on the verge of losing her mind. Suddenly, a new guard is assigned to her. She treats him distantly, expecting he’s just like the rest. Except he’s not. He is not Poppy’s knight in shining armor but rather urges her to wear her own armor and fight back. Jennifer L. Armentrout - From Blood and Ash

“With my sword and with my life, I vow to keep you safe, PENELLAPHE. From this moment to the last, I am yours.” These are the vows Hawke Flynn lays at Poppy’s feet when he’s assigned to be her Royal Guard - a rank he’s not yet qualified for. He even got the vows wrong and no one corrected him. He was supposed to say, “Maiden, The Chosen,” not her name.Some months ago, Poppy did something crazy. She went into an inn wearing a disguise and got entangled with a certain stranger, Hawke. He didn’t see her face that night but they talked. Now that he’s her guard, she must stay quiet around him for fear he might recognise her voice. If he does, he could report her to Duke Teerman and the consequences would be nothing short of a nightmare. Jennifer L. Armentrout - From Blood and Ash

Poppy and Rylan, her guard, are out on her usual evening walk. The sun sets and at the first appearance of the moon, hundreds of buds on the vines tremble, then open, revealing petals the shade of a starless midnight. Night blooming roses. They’re admiring the beauty when suddenly, Poppy sees an arrow protruding out of his chest. A man in a hood appears and cruelly asks her to do as he says or face the consequences. He has no idea she’s trained to defend herself. That element of surprise saves her life. “I’ll bathe in your blood and feast on your entrails.” The wounded man promises before slipping away. She’s shaking from shock yet she must quickly hide her weapons, make it appear as if she were lucky. If it’s found out she can fight, her punishment would be severe. Makes no sense but it’s Poppy’s reality. Who are these people trying to abduct her? And why? They don’t want a ransom that’s for sure or do they? But it can’t be money.

Poppy has to wear a veil at all times. They say it’s because she is The Maiden - Child of the gods, The Chosen for a unique purpose. But she suspects it’s also because of her scars. Only a handful of people have seen her face.There might be truth to Poppy being the child of the gods. If not, how does she have the gift? She can sense people’s pain and bring them some relief if she touches them. She’s warned to hide this gift and never use it but Poppy only wants to help people.
