"A masterpiece of intricate world-building with the depth, complexity, heart, and soul of a timelessly relevant classic. Brilliant, diverse, feminist, subversive, thought-provoking, and masterfully told, The Priory of the Orange Tree is an absolute must-read." -- Karen Marie Moning, #1 NYT-bestselling author of the Highlander and Fever series "An astonishing achievement. Many authors can paint different names onto familiar concepts; Shannon goes further, building new religions and histories and conflicts, with all the rich detail necessary to bring them to life." -- Marie Brennan, award-winning author of The Memoirs of Lady Trent series "A brilliant, daring, and devastating jewel. Shannon has crafted an incredible world full of depth and danger, with characters I would follow to the ends of the earth. I'm in awe of her talent." -- Victoria Aveyard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Red Queen series "An epic fantasy destined to be a classic. One of those rare novels that captures your imagination so completely you will read it over and over, until the cover cracks and the spine breaks." -- Kami Garcia, #1 NYT bestselling coauthor of Beautiful Creatures and author of Unbreakable "This magnificent epic of queens, dragonriders, and badass secret wyrm-slaying priestesses is a tour de force, and my new absolute favorite epic fantasy." -- Laini Taylor, NYT bestselling author of the Strange the Dreamer and Daughter of Smoke and Bone series "The Platonic Ideal of a fantasy novel. A rich and stirring tale of magic and queens, swords and dragons, assassins and sorcerers, it is thronged with women: strong women and queer women, gorgeous women and powerful women, brilliant women and dangerous women. Men, too, of course. This story of good and evil, struggle and triumph, love and loss and return is beautifully written: complex but clear, and utterly immersive. I loved this book." -- Nicola Griffith, award-winning author of Hild "Spellbinding . . . This extraordinary saga includes heroism, romance, friendship, pirates, plague, diplomacy, and, of course, dragons. A well-drawn feminist fantasy with broad appeal for fans of the epic and readers of Zen Cho, Naomi Novik, and V. E. Schwab. Highly recommended." -- Booklist, Starred Review "Shannon satisfyingly fills this massive standalone epic fantasy with court intrigue, travel through dangerous lands, fantastical religions, blood, love, and rhetoric." -- Publishers Weekly, "A masterpiece of intricate world-building with the depth, complexity, heart and soul of a timelessly relevant classic. Brilliant, diverse, feminist, subversive, thought-provoking and masterfully told, The Priory of the Orange Tree is epic fantasy at its finest. The scope of the book is staggering, as is Shannon's deft command of language. The Priory of the Orange Tree is an absolute must-read and on my permanent keeper shelf." -- Karen Marie Moning, #1 NYT-bestselling author of the Highlander and Fever series "An astonishing achievement. The roots of Shannon's world lie in real history, but its branches stretch far into the imagination. Many authors can paint different names onto familiar concepts; Shannon goes further, building new religions and histories and conflicts, with all the rich detail necessary to bring them to life." -- Marie Brennan, NYT-bestselling writer of The Memoirs of Lady Trent series "A great imagination at work." -- People on THE BONE SEASON "A dystopian thriller that delivers." -- Salon on THE BONE SEASON "An amazingly rich and unruly underworld . . . Paige makes great strides as a memorable character." -- USA Today on THE MIME ORDER "Shannon has continued to build on this imagined world with intricacy, and Paige's voice comes through to deliver a suspenseful story." -- The Washington Post on THE MIME ORDER "Shannon now has proven staying power. Her fans will be calling for more." -- NPR.org on THE MIME ORDER, "Mesmerizing." -- Washington Post "A timelessly relevant classic. Brilliant, diverse, feminist, subversive, thought-provoking, and masterfully told, The Priory of the Orange Tree is an absolute must-read." -- Karen Marie Moning, #1 NYT bestselling author of the Highlander and Fever series "A brilliant, daring, and devastating jewel . . . An incredible world full of depth and danger, with characters I would follow to the ends of the earth. I'm in awe of [Shannon's] talent." -- Victoria Aveyard, #1 NYT bestselling author of the Red Queen series "An epic feminist fantasy perfect for fans of 'Game of Thrones' . . . A rich and engaging high fantasy novel that puts women and their stories front and center, The Priory of the Orange Tree will pull you into its magical world from the first page." -- Bustle "An intricately realized and feminist fantasy . . . one might even be tempted to dub Samantha Shannon, 'The female George R.R. Martin." -- Hypable "This magnificent epic of queens, dragonriders, and badass secret wyrm-slaying priestesses is a tour de force, and my new absolute favorite epic fantasy." -- Laini Taylor, NYT bestselling author of the Strange the Dreamer and Daughter of Smoke and Bone series "Spellbinding . . . extraordinary . . . A well-drawn feminist fantasy with broad appeal for fans of the epic and readers of Zen Cho, Naomi Novik, and V. E. Schwab. Highly recommended." -- Booklist, starred review "A celebration of fantasy that melds modern ideology with classic tropes. More of these dragons, please." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "An astonishing achievement." -- Marie Brennan, award-winning author of The Memoirs of Lady Trent series "An epic fantasy destined to be a classic." -- Kami Garcia, #1 NYT bestselling coauthor of Beautiful Creatures and author of Unbreakable "The Platonic Ideal of a fantasy novel . . . This story of good and evil, struggle and triumph, love and loss and return is beautifully written: complex but clear, and utterly immersive. I loved this book." -- Nicola Griffith, award-winning author of Hild " The Priory of the Orange Tree isn't our grandfathers' epic fantasy novel. It is a clever combination of Elizabethan England, the legend of St. George and Eastern dragon lore, with a dash of Tolkien. Shannon's feminist saga has enough detailed world-building, breath-taking action and sweeping romance to remind epic fantasy readers of why they love the genre in the first place. Modern sensibilities integrate seamlessly with genre tropes . . . Readers will beg for a sequel." -- Shelf Awareness "Shannon satisfyingly fills this massive standalone epic fantasy with court intrigue, travel through dangerous lands, fantastical religions, blood, love, and rhetoric." -- Publishers Weekly "A fascinating epic fantasy set in a rich, well-developed world. Shannon has created fertile narrative ground." -- New York Journal of Books, "A timelessly relevant classic.

But Shannon's newest work also stands boldly apart . . . As with the best of fantasy, The Priory of the Orange Tree feels less like a book than it does an experience, a true sojourn into a rich and terrible new world." -- Hypable, "A masterpiece of intricate world-building with the depth, complexity, heart and soul of a timelessly relevant classic. Brilliant, diverse, feminist, subversive, thought-provoking and masterfully told, The Priory of the Orange Tree is epic fantasy at its finest.

A well-drawn feminist fantasy with broad appeal for fans of the epic and readers of Zen Cho, Naomi Novik, and V. E. Schwab. Highly recommended." -- Booklist, starred review "A celebration of fantasy that melds modern ideology with classic tropes. More of these dragons, please." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Shannon satisfyingly fills this massive standalone epic fantasy with court intrigue, travel through dangerous lands, fantastical religions, blood, love, and rhetoric." -- Publishers Weekly " The Priory of the Orange Tree isn't our grandfathers' epic fantasy novel. It is a clever combination of Elizabethan England, the legend of St. George and Eastern dragon lore, with a dash of Tolkien. Shannon's feminist saga has enough detailed world-building, breath-taking action and sweeping romance to remind epic fantasy readers of why they love the genre in the first place. Modern sensibilities integrate seamlessly with genre tropes . . . Readers will beg for a sequel." -- Shelf Awareness "An epic feminist fantasy perfect for fans of 'Game of Thrones' . . . A rich and engaging high fantasy novel that puts women and their stories front and center, The Priory of the Orange Tree will pull you into its magical world from the first page." - Bustle "An intricately realized and feminist fantasy . . . one might even be tempted to dub Samantha Shannon, 'The female George R.R. Martin. " -- Hypable " A fascinating epic fantasy set in a rich, well-developed world. Shannon has created fertile narrative ground." - New York Review of Books, "Mesmerizing." -- Washington Post "A timelessly relevant classic. Brilliant, diverse, feminist, subversive, thought-provoking, and masterfully told, The Priory of the Orange Tree is an absolute must-read." -- Karen Marie Moning, #1 NYT bestselling author of the Highlander and Fever series "A brilliant, daring, and devastating jewel . . . An incredible world full of depth and danger, with characters I would follow to the ends of the earth. I'm in awe of [Shannon's] talent." -- Victoria Aveyard, #1 NYT bestselling author of the Red Queen series "An epic feminist fantasy perfect for fans of 'Game of Thrones' . . . A rich and engaging high fantasy novel that puts women and their stories front and center, The Priory of the Orange Tree will pull you into its magical world from the first page." -- Bustle "An intricately realized and feminist fantasy . . . one might even be tempted to dub Samantha Shannon, 'The female George R.R. Martin." -- Hypable "This magnificent epic of queens, dragonriders, and badass secret wyrm-slaying priestesses is a tour de force, and my new absolute favorite epic fantasy." -- Laini Taylor, NYT bestselling author of the Strange the Dreamer and Daughter of Smoke and Bone series "Spellbinding . . . extraordinary . . . A well-drawn feminist fantasy with broad appeal for fans of the epic and readers of Zen Cho, Naomi Novik, and V. E. Schwab.
