The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon is a sweeping epic fantasy that reimagines the legend of Saint George and the Dragon through a feminist lens. Set in a richly detailed world divided by cultural and religious differences, the novel explores themes of power, duty, and unity in the face of an ancient evil.   In the West, the Queendom of Inys has been ruled for a thousand years by the House of Berethnet. Queen Sabran the Ninth must conceive a daughter to continue her line and maintain the realm’s stability. Unbeknownst to her, Ead Duryan, a lady-in-waiting and secret member of the Priory of the Orange Tree, is assigned to protect Sabran from unseen threats.
