Books to read next
Every book here was chosen because it captures what made From Blood and Ash special — not just the genre, but the feeling.
A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire
Book 2 of the Blood and Ash series — everything you thought you knew is wrong, and the tension between Poppy and Hawke reaches its peak.
Don't stop at book one. The series only gets bigger and more emotionally complex. The next three books are where JLA truly unleashes.

A Court of Thorns and Roses
A mortal huntress is taken to the land of the Fae — where the dangerous faerie assigned to watch her is hiding the truth about everything.
The same morally grey MMC who keeps secrets, the same slow-burn forbidden dynamic, the same world that gets darker and bigger as the series progresses.

Fourth Wing
A girl forced into dragon-rider war college falls for the most dangerous rider in her year — the son of her family's enemy.
The same bodyguard/enemies dynamic, the same slow burn with a morally grey MMC, the same 'world is not what you were told' reveal structure.

Kingdom of the Wicked
A Sicilian girl summons a demon to help her find her twin sister's killer — and the demon is more interested in her than she expected.
Morally grey supernatural MMC, dark mythology, forbidden-attraction energy. Very similar emotional register to From Blood and Ash.

Powerless
In a world where the powerless are killed, a girl who hides her lack of ability catches the attention of the most powerful prince in the kingdom.
The forbidden-dynamic and hidden-identity beats that From Blood and Ash executes so well. YA but with adult-feeling tension.

The Bridge Kingdom
A spy princess is sent to marry and destroy a king — but the king is nothing like she was told, and the marriage is more complicated than the mission.
Enemies-to-lovers, forbidden romance, and a hero who hides what he really is. Same foundational beats as From Blood and Ash.

Dark Olympus (Neon Gods)
Persephone flees an arranged marriage and runs straight into Hades — who offers her a deal she shouldn't accept.
Mythology-soaked romance with a morally grey MMC and the same forbidden-attraction structure. Modern retelling, dark tone.
