The day the night fell
Return to the magical world of the bestseller The Priory of the Orange Tree
Hundreds of years before the events of The Priory of the Orange Tree, Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. She has trained to slay wyrms for fifty years—but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation of sisters are beginning to question the very purpose of the entire order.
In the West, in the kingdom of Inys, Queen Sabran VI. Berethnet had just married Bardholt Battleslayer, King of Hroth, and had narrowly saved both realms from destruction. Their daughter Glorian hides in the shadow of both—exactly where she wants to be.
The dragons of the East have been sleeping for centuries. Dumai spent her life in the Supreme Temple of Kwiriki on Seiiki, trying to awaken the gods from their long slumber. But now someone from her mother' s past is coming to reverse her fate. When Mount Dread erupts, bringing with it an age of terror and violence, these women must find the strength to protect humanity from the devastating threat.

They wrote about the book:
A novel about the scope of a fantasy trilogy in one volume, allowing for an in-depth exploration of each of the heroes. A richly and detailed epic with an epic conclusion. Both Priory fans and complete newcomers will find something to their liking.
