Eadaz and her queen

[jacely]

“i would live alone for fifty years to have one day with you.”

Self indulgent Eadaz and Sabran :)

Me at the start of Priory of the Orange Tree: Okay so, this Queen Sabran is seen as an almost religious figure by her kingdom, this is a mixture of theocracy and Right of Kings And she is respected as the descendant of these two ancient figures

Me at the end of Part 1 of Book 1: She is not. Oh god she is not. She is a decoration. Her authority is not hers, but it belongs to this man who has been dead for so long. Oh God, she is the last in a long line of daughters and mothers who lived and ruled. yet not a one of them was seen as the queen. not really. only as a reinforcement of this man. Only as a way to secure yet another heir to keep his memory alive. It calls itself a Queendom, it speaks of queens who ruled for a thousand year. Yet the one who matters was The Saint. yet the first of the quees was a trophy for The Saint. Reduced to a helpless Maiden for the Hero to save. the person who the kingdom actually values is someone else.

Sabran Berethnet & Ead Duryan✨️

Currently reading The Priory of the Orange Tree (halfway through it) and needless to say, I'm loving it so much! Decided to draw a quick illustration of Sabran and Ead, I'll try to properly render this one when I've more free time 🙂‍↕️

I feel like we don’t talk enough about the parallels between Glorian and Sabran’s relationship and Siyu and Esbar’s relationship, because the parallels are paralleling

I was recently inspired to draw a little comic based on a magnificent scene from The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon 🍊 I love this book so much!!
