From Blood And Ashes

Born a Virgo chosen to lead the world into a new era, Poppy lives a life that is not hers, full of prohibitions. Never touch her. Don't let them look at her. Don't talk to her. To not be able to taste the pleasure. Until the day of her Ascension arrives, she would rather spend her time with the guards and fighting the evil that tore her family apart than prepare to be judged worthy by the gods. But the choice was never hers. The Duty The burden for the future of the kingdom has fallen on Poppy, something she isn't even sure she wants. Because even a Virgo has a heart and desires. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard sworn to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become confused with passion and need. Hawk awakens her rage and tempts her with the forbidden. The Realm… The Realm, that which the gods have renounced and mortals fear, rises again. As the shadows of the damned draw ever closer, the line between the forbidden and the right blurs. Poppy suddenly finds herself very close to not only losing her heart and being judged unworthy by the gods, but her very life, when the blood-soaked thread holding the pieces of her world together begins to fray.
