Current "Blood and Ash" Book Order

Expected to Be Published
Originally, the series was going to include two more additions, being the next one "The Primal of Blood and Bone,” which now has a new date of release (September 23, 2025). This was supposed to be the last book focused on Poppy and Casteel. However, Armentrout announced that their story will now be split in two books, the latter and a new one coming in 2026.
We’ll have to wait and see if there’ll still be a last book in this series that was going to explore other characters’ story.
Complimentary Series
Because this is a complex universe that involves actions of the past, present, and future, Armentrout has written another series—“Flesh and Fire”—complimentary if you may to “Blood and Ash.”
It’s set in the same world but in a time previous to Poppy and Casteel. Its main characters are the Primal of Death Nyktos, which is mentioned in "Blood and Ash,” and Seraphena. It has four books in total:
- “A Shadow in the Ember”
- “A Light in the Flame”
- “A Fire in the Flesh”
- “Born of Blood and Ash”
“Flesh and Fire" Book Order

Additional to these two series, you can also access “Visions of Flesh and Blood.” It’s a compendium to help you navigate Armentrout’s universe, comprising both “Blood and Ash” and “Flesh and Fire.”
