Book Summary
How far are you willing to go for love?
When Prince Arnion volunteers to infiltrate the prison colony of Gehenna, romance is the last thing on his mind. Rescuing its inhabitants is his only priority. But the corruption in Gehenna runs deep, fueled by the obsessions of its fanatical leader—a king rumored to devour human hearts.
To succeed, Arnion must conceal his identity from the people he’s been sent to save, including a young woman he’s inexplicably drawn to. And when her life is threatened by two merciless guards, the prince risks everything to save her.
Afterward, she wants nothing to do with him or his promises of rescue. But she soon realizes there’s more to Arnion than meets the eye, and what he’s about to unleash on Gehenna will change everything.
My Review
Beauty From Ashes is a YA Fantasy, mixed with a Sci-Fi and Dystopian feel. The story is based on an allegory of Christ's life and his love for people. If you are Christian, you will recognize things in Beauty From Ashes that will remind you of stories from the Bible. If you are not religious, you will enjoy a story of a brave prince from a futuristic world that battles evil beings while trying to save the world.
Prince Arnion is going undercover into King Lucien's kingdom of Gehenna to help free the people being held in bondage as slaves there. The people have been brainwashed and have lost all hope. Arnion starts making friends and opening the eyes of the people about what is really happening. I loved when he met the downtrodden woman named Arcadia. Slowly he wins her over, opens her eyes to the spirit within her, and a romance starts to blossom. There is some violence as people are beaten and killed by Lucien's guards. It is not overly graphic. It just signifies how harsh the conditions are in Gehenna along with the people starving. It's nice to see the longer that Arnion is there the more the people are changing. You can feel your own spirits rising as they begin to have hope again. Of course, there is a happy surprise at the end and things are left open for another book.
This book can be read by teens and adults. There are many aspects that will appeal to readers with action, romance, and of course angst.
3.5-4 Stars from me for Beauty From Ashes.
