Penellaphe Balfour

Character from From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

The Maiden — Chosen by the gods, veiled and forbidden to be touched — who is actually the daughter of a god and the Blood Queen, destined to shatter everything both kingdoms believe.

Also known as: Poppy, Penellaphe, The Maiden, Poppy Da'Neer, The Chosen, The Queen of Flesh and Fire, The True Queen of Atlantia

What They Know

• The truth about her bloodline — daughter of Isbeth and Ires, granddaughter of Nyktos, carrying Primal power
• How to wield her empathic gift as both healing and weapon — sensing emotions, absorbing pain, and eventually commanding life and death
• The lies the Ascended built their kingdom on: the Chosen are cattle, the Rite is a harvest, and the gods stopped answering long ago
• Every hidden passage and rooftop escape route in Teerman Keep, memorized during years of forbidden midnight excursions
• The Joining ritual and her bond with both Casteel and Kieran — what it means and what it costs
• Casteel's century of torture at the hands of the Ascended and the scars it left on him
• The location and vulnerability of every Ascended stronghold she has seen from the inside
• Her own mortality is a question mark — her power grows with each awakening, and she may no longer be something that can die
