- Book Synopsis
-
With the awakening of fire-breathing dragons, Among the Burning Flowers ignites the first sparks of danger that threaten to consume the world of The Priory of the Orange Tree.
Take your first steps into the epic.
Yscalin, land of sunshine and lavender, is on the brink of ruin. It has been centuries since the Draconic Army last took flight, nearly wiping out humankind. Now, Marosa Vetalda is a prisoner in her palace, held in check by her cold and calculating father, King Sigoso. Across the mountains, her betrothed, Aubrecht Lievelyn, rules Mentendon in all but name.
Together, they dream of a better world.
But for Estina Melaugo—a hunter of the dormant Draconic beasts—that world feels impossibly far. Now, the great wyrm Fýredel is stirring once more, and Yscalin will be the first to fall...
A story of human resilience in the face of overwhelming odds, Among the Burning Flowers leads readers through the gripping and tragic events that set the stage for the million-copy bestseller The Priory of the Orange Tree.
Ideal for readers who:
- Love epic fantasy with dragons and royal intrigue
- Enjoy stories that set larger sagas in motion
- Want to return to the world of The Priory of the Orange Tree
- Like vivid, high-stakes fantasy with tragic momentum
