TTPD is for the literature lovers, the daydreamers, the delusional romantics who've had their hearts broken one too many times (but have never learnt not to love, hope, and conquer)

You remember the first day we walked together. You told me about the lovejay, and how it always knows its partner’s song, even if they have been long apart. My heart knows your song, as yours knows mine. And I will always come back to you.

- The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

[sshannonauthor]

The stunning, standalone prequel to the New York Times bestselling The Priory of the Orange Tree.

Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms – but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation is starting to question the Priory’s purpose. To the north, in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious has married the new King of Hróth, narrowly saving both realms from ruin. Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow – exactly where she wants to be. The dragons of the East have slept for centuries. Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, trying to wake the gods from their long slumber. Now someone from her mother’s past is coming to upend her fate. When the Dreadmount erupts, bringing with it an age of terror and violence, these women must find the strength to protect humankind from a devastating threat.

Also props to samantha shannon, i have never been straight-baited as much as i have been while reading her books -- the tease of loth/sabran and loth/ead only for the canon ship to be sabran/ead and loth/his damn self, was extremely satistying in 'priory', and now wulf seems to be taking that role in 'day of fallen night' with the will-they-won't-they with glorian..? Though i might be reading this wrong, i still have 18 hours of listening left (WEEP)
