The Priory of the Orange Tree (The Roots of Chaos)

In a world split between East and West, the thousand-year-old Queendom of Inys faces peril as Queen Sabran the Ninth remains unwed and without an heir, leaving her realm vulnerable to ancient forces stirring once more. Ead Duryan, an outsider and secret mage loyal to a hidden order, serves as Sabran’s lady-in-waiting while secretly using forbidden magic to protect her. Across the sea, Tané, a skilled dragonrider, makes a fateful choice that could upend her destiny. As assassins draw near and chaos awakens, the future of the realm—and the fragile balance between nations—hangs in the balance.
