About the Books. The Priory of the Orange Tree introduces a world a thousand years after an unspeakable evil was locked away. Queen Sabran the Ninth must produce an heir to protect her people from the Nameless One's return, while Ead Duryan, a lady-in-waiting secretly trained in forbidden magic, guards her from unseen enemies. Across the sea, Tané has trained her whole life to become a dragonrider, and a single mistake threatens to unravel everything. As royal courts scheme and dragons stir, these women's fates become entwined in a war that will determine the world's survival.. A Day of Fallen Night, set centuries earlier, follows Tunuva Melim, a sister of the Priory who has spent fifty years training to slay wyrms that haven't surfaced since the Nameless One's imprisonment. As younger Priory members question the old ways, Sabran the Ambitious's daughter Glorian struggles to live up to her parents' legacy, while Dumai, raised in a remote Seiiki mountain temple, is drawn into a plot to wake sleeping gods. Together these interlinked stories expand Samantha Shannon's mythology with fresh heroines, deep history and a sweeping sense of destiny, standing alone or as companion reads to Priory..
