Summary
Set centuries before The Priory of the Orange Tree, this sweeping prequel follows four women whose paths shape the fate of their world. Tunuva, a devoted sister of the Priory, has trained her entire life to slay wyrms that have not appeared in generations. In the northern Queendom of Inys, young Glorian grows up in the long shadow of her powerful parents. Far to the East, Dumai seeks to awaken sleeping gods in the mountains of Seiiki, only to be confronted by secrets from her lineage. When the Dreadmount erupts and ancient terrors return, each woman must rise to protect humanity from a devastating age of fire and darkness.
