A Day of Fallen Night (The Roots of Chaos #0) by Samantha    Shannon digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

This Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition has special end papers and a custom cover foil stamp as well as a bonus scene focusing on Tunuva and Esbar's courtship.

The stunning, standalone prequel to the 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, Samantha Shannon sweeps readers back to the world of The Priory of the Orange Tree, showing us a course of events that shaped it for generations to come.

Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“Since there was no blurb on or in my book before buying, I chose it simply because of its cover and title, begging it to be no waste of money. And it did not dissappoint. I really liked it. Even though I am not normally one to prefer character driven books, this one was an easy read. Friends of mine never finished the Priory of The Orange Tree. But I will gladly give it a try, since I am actually curious what will happen next.”
Thinking Face“This book was an undertaking but it definitely paid off. There was so much depth to the characters and the while the world building took time to develop, the plot was CRAZY! The entire story was just epic and original. It was beautiful!”
