The Priory of the Orange Tree

By Samantha Shannon
The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A world divided.
A queendom without an heir.
An ancient enemy awakens.


The House of Berethnet has ruled Inys for a thousand years. Still unwed, Queen Sabran the Ninth must conceive a daughter to protect her realm from destruction—but assassins are getting closer to her door.

Ead Duryan is an outsider at court. Though she has risen to the position of lady-in-waiting, she is loyal to a hidden society of mages. Ead keeps a watchful eye on Sabran, secretly protecting her with forbidden magic.

Across the dark sea, Tané has trained all her life to be a dragonrider, but is forced to make a choice that could see her life unravel.

Meanwhile, the divided East and West refuse to parley, and forces of chaos are rising from their sleep.

Length: 25 hours and 52 minutes

“absolutely loved it! the world building took a while but once the story started forming it was hard to put the book down. the only critique i have for the book is that sometimes the problem the chapter narrator was facing was answered too easily. additionally, i wish the fight with the nameless one at the end was a little longer. it took almost 70 chapters to get to it, and it was over in barely 2. despite this, i would still absolutely recommend this book to anyone who likes high fantasy and sapphic romances!”
Thumbs Up“The world building in this book is really in depth. It took me a long time to read the first 60% of the book and to feel really invested in the story/characters. The back end was beautifully written. I loved the way that the characters journeys all came together to complete a common goal! A very satisfying conclusion”
