The New York Times bestselling, stunning, standalone prequel to The Priory of the Orange Tree, now in paperback.
“A magnificent, sweeping epic. Shannon has created a world rich in intricate mythology, beautifully realized and complex.” —Jennifer Saint, bestselling author of Ariadne.
In A Day of Fallen Night, Samantha Shannon sweeps readers back to the universe of Priory of the Orange Tree and into the lives of four women, showing us a course of events that shaped their world for generations to come.
Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms—but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation is starting to question the Priory's purpose.
To the north, in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious has married the new King of Hróth, narrowly saving both realms from ruin. Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow—exactly where she wants to be.
The dragons of the East have slept for centuries. Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, trying to wake the gods from their long slumber. Now someone from her mother's past is coming to upend her fate.
When the Dreadmount erupts, bringing with it an age of terror and violence, these women must find the strength to protect humankind from a devastating threat.

You know, this might be the aphantasia talking. Pretty maps are great but USEFUL maps are better 😌 And this isn't a commentary on these books or these maps themselves, but rather the relation between the two.
