Description

With the awakening of fire-breathing dragons, Among the Burning Flowers sees the first sparks of danger that threaten to consume the world in The Priory of the Orange Tree.

Take your first steps into the epic.
Yscalin, land of sunshine and lavender, will soon be ablaze.

It has been centuries since the Draconic Army took wing, almost extinguishing humankind.

Marosa Vetalda is a prisoner in her own home, controlled by her cold father, King Sigoso. Over the mountains, her betrothed, Aubrecht Lievelyn, rules Mentendon in all but name. Together, they intend to usher in a better world.

A better world seems impossibly distant to Estina Melaugo, who hunts the Draconic beasts that have slept across the world for centuries.

And now the great wyrm Fýredel is stirring, and Yscalin will be the first to fall . . .

A story of human resilience in the face of dire circumstances, Among the Burning Flowers leads readers through the gripping and tragic events that pave the way for the opening of the million-copy bestseller The Priory of The Orange Tree.

Richly illustrated with magical artwork by Rovina Cai (@rovinacai).

Critic Reviews

An intricately and thoughtfully plotted wonder of a world. Shannon has woven a rich, diverse tapestry which centralises voices not often heard in fantasy. Thoughtful, inclusive and lyrical writing that makes my heart sing -- Wren James, author of The Quiet at the End of the World
Among the Burning Flowers is the Rogue One of the Roots of Chaos world, deepening and enriching the events to come while also serving as its own perfect slice of story. Remarkably tender and philosophical despite the backdrop of brimstone and beast-slaying, and as intricate with its lore and history as its chunkier companions, I loved every second of my time in fallen Ysaclin. And if you make it out of this tale without swearing your life and your sword to Melaugo, you’re a stronger reader than I! -- Laura Steven, New York Times bestselling author of Our Infinite Fates
