A return to the world of Samantha Shannon's Sunday Times and New York Times-bestselling The Priory of the Orange Tree
____________________

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.

Intricate and epic, A Day of Fallen Night sweeps listeners back to the world of A Priory of the Orange Tree, showing us a course of events that shaped it for generations to come.

**Chosen as a book of 2023 by the Metro, Cosmopolitan, Nerd Daily, PinkNews and Waterstones**

I truly loved this book. I have to say the new narrators really brought this to life.

Such a fantastic story.

This is really a fantasy epic for the ages and a very satisying prequel to the events of priory. I also find these books a bit of a redemption for those of us who have slogged through and cringed at misogynistic portrayals of women, romance, and pregnancy in our readings. It's handled very thoughtfully and realistically here, managing to interest and tug at the heartstrings. There's a good balance between the characters, the politics, and the overarching dread of war through this book.

One small drawback on the audiobook side is that Dumai's narrator opts for a very dreamy voice the whole way through, which does start to grate a bit as the hours go by. That said, the rest of the narration is great.

What a story!!

I really enjoyed this story, and loved the concept of three story tellers, it really suited this style of narrating from multiple points of view. I would love more books that employ this production style

Amazing Read!!

As the title says, I like the storylines and characters much more then Priory. The pacing is better and the performance is great. The East plot is my least favourite part of it but it gets better as time goes on.

Much Better Then Priory
