This month, we will be reading A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon.

The club read and fell in love with Priory of the Orange Tree years ago, and with the release of the latest book in the Roots of Chaos series (Among the Burning Flowers, September 2025) it's a great time to revisit this incredibly lush world.

We will focus most of our discussion on A Day of Fallen Night, the second release and prequel to Priority of the Orange Tree. Any of the books can stand alone, but we encourage you to read as many as you want!

About the book from the author's website:

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.
