To marry, they must go to Atlantia because a “marriage can only occur between two Atlantians if both halves are standing on the soil of their home.” So the plan to use Poppy as bait to get his brother, Prince Malik, back has clearly gone out the window. Poppy’s finally accepted that Hawke is not who she thought he was. Hawke has just announced he’s taking Poppy back to Atlantia to marry her. I guarantee, Ector is the one who pushed that human to try to kill Sera, and that is why he killed him before Ash could question him.Okay, now let’s get to it! Spoilers ahead! A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire Summary: From Blood and Ash Book 2 Where We Left Off It's going to come out that Ector is working with Kolis. Anyway, I need to believe that Jadis is still alive, because I love her, dammit! Maybe she tries to turn Tawny into a revenant to subdue Poppy, and instead, it undoes whatever was done to her, and she gets her memories and form back? If she IS in fact Jadis, I think Ires and her both withheld that she is a draken, because there is no way Isbeth would have handed Poppy a draken. But where is she? She could have been killed.

So we can assume Isbeth took Jadis as well. We know that Ires has been captured by Isbeth, and is in that cage Poppy and crew encountered at the end of Gilded Bones. We know that Ires and Jadis ran off to the mortal realm, and have gone missing. We get so much draken in ASITE, especially with Jadis and Reaver. and Isbeth did something to her, and make her think she is a mortal named Tawny. Things are going to happen, and when all seems lost, I think Sera will step in and fuck shit up. Poppy is going to war against her mother, who is batshit crazy and cruel. Sera thought to herself that if anyone hurt her children or any of her decedents, that she would come back from the dead and kill them.

Sera is going to wake up and kick some serious ass in the next Blood and Ash book. Maybe the reason they all entered a deep sleep was because it was the only way to keep Kolis contained until the later couple in the prophecy (Casteel and Poppy) were born, and they had full power to defeat him. I think that while they were able to overpower most of the 'bad' Gods (as Jennifer's list of the God's line up with Ash's court that she posted a while back), they were only able to contain Kolis. I think that while we are lead to believe that Isbeth is the big bad, but I think ultimately its going to be Kolis. But I don't think its a happily ever after. We know, because of Blood and Ash, that Ash/Nyktos and Sera do end up with one another, and have twin sons - Malec and Ires.
