About the Book –

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…

“Don’t just suspend your disbelief – send it to the pictures and sink into this fabulous, epic fantasy… Lavish, ebullient, escapist”

The Times

“A dark, embattled, highly wrought fantasy...There is no doubt that Samantha is the real thing”

Observor

“Puts Samantha Shannon in the same league as Robin Hobb and George R.R. Martin. Shannon is a master of dragons”
