With the awakening of fire-breathing dragons, Among the Burning Flowers sees the first sparks of danger that threaten to consume the world in The Priory of the Orange Tree.
Take your first steps into the epic.
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 . . .
A story of human resilience in the face of dire circumstances, Among the Burning Flowers leads readers through the gripping and tragic circumstances that pave the way for the opening of the million-copy bestseller The Priory of The Orange Tree.
Richly illustrated with magical artwork by Rovina Cai (@rovinacai).

No one enthralls me like Samantha Shannon
R. F. Kuang, Sunday Times bestselling author of Babel
Samantha Shannon's writing is as fierce as the magic she conjures. I'm not convinced Shannon isn't magic herself; her prose is ethereal, her characters captivate the heart and mind. She's in a league of her own – truly the best fantasy there is
Saara El-Arifi, Sunday Times bestselling author of Faebound
A stunning addition to the Roots of Chaos world. With Among the Burning Flowers, Shannon offers readers a captivating glimpse into the events that precede The Priory of the Orange Tree. Perfect for fans of the series and new readers looking to dive in!
Kate Dylan, Sunday Times bestselling author of Until We Shatter
Walk through this portal into an epic series, a twist on a princess in a tower, bright as rivers of lava and dark as dragon wings. Take this as a sign: chaos is waiting!
Sarah Rees Brennan, Sunday Times bestselling author of Long Live Evil
An intricately and thoughtfully plotted wonder of a world. Shannon has woven a rich, diverse tapestry which centralises voices not often heard in fantasy. Thoughtful, inclusive and lyrical writing that makes my heart sing
Wren James, author of The Quiet at the End of the World
Revisiting the world of The Priory of the Orange Tree is like meeting up with an old friend and being reminded all over again what an amazing time you always have together. (Albeit an old friend who flies and breathes fire). Samantha Shannon's writing remains exquisite, impeccably crafted and beautifully detailed, while somehow always feeling effortless to us readers. Among the Burning Flowers feels like Yscalin has been there for centuries stretching back far beyond the first few pages, and will exist long after we turn the last page of this book. Samantha Shannon is at the top of her game, and I am always excited to spend time in her books
