Among the burning flowers

Embark on an epic adventure. Yscalin, the land of sun and lavender, will soon be set ablaze!

Centuries have passed since the Draconic host marched and nearly wiped out humankind. Marosa of Vetâla is a prisoner in her own home, under the watch of her cold-hearted father, King Sigis. Beyond the mountains, her betrothed, Aubrecht of Lyvelyn, is preparing for the throne, and together they intend to usher in a better world. Yet this seems impossibly distant for Estina Melaugo, a hunter of draconic creatures who have been sleeping peacefully across the world for centuries.

And now Fýredel, one of the five great wyrms to emerge from the Dreadmount, is awakening, and the Queendom of Yscalin will be the first to stand in his way…

The novella A Day of Fallen Night guides readers through the thrilling and tragic events that set the stage for the beginning of the million-copy bestseller, The Priory of the Orange Tree.
