The Priory of the Orange Tree (The Roots of Chaos, #1)
ByPublisher 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 to be a dragonrider since she was a child, 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.

“The over all plot and world-building of the book were really well done and it’s noticeable the author spent a lot of time devoted to crafting the world and story, though I wish the end was done better.
I loved 2/3 of all FMC (eadaz and sabran) but with the last, tane, I couldn’t connect to her or care for her much because we spend such little time with her. There was so much of her left unexplored and it seems her side of the world wasn’t as developed as Ead/Sabran’s side. There was even a small rivalry with Tane and another guy but it was never explained or expanded which I hope changes in the sequel. The other POV’s (Arteloth and Nicolays) felt so slow at first but I pushed on because of Ead’s storyline which was interesting from the get go. It wasn’t until 45% in that the MMC pov’s got juicy and I was hooked.
I loved the character development that Ead and Sabran had and I think Sabran has the most growth but their romance wasn’t paced well though I did grow to care for it. By the end I was rooting for them and I can’t wait to read the sequel and see them grow.
My last gripe with the story was the end battle because the big bad dragon and villain of the book was hyped so much and it was basically one-shot by Ead in the end and it felt unsatisfying for the amount of build-up we got. I also had mixed opinions about Kalyba but my opinion has changed now with reading A day of fallen night.
Overall, the plot is great but the pacing and side characters don’t live to the fullest potential but it was none the less an insanely good read and got me back into reading!”
