The Roots of Chaos Cycle rewards reading in any order – take wing into this magical world with whichever story you choose:


The Priory of the Orange Tree – In a world divided by fear and faith, an ancient darkness stirs. A queen, a mage and a warrior must fight to save themselves and unite their world or face destruction. Filled with dragon riders, legend and magic, this is a tale of epic courage and destiny


A Day of Fallen Night – Centuries before the events of A Priory of the Orange Tree, a deadly fire-breathing threat arises. As chaos spreads, four women must choose between duty and truth, with their actions shaping the world for generations to come.


Among the Burning Flowers – A prequel filled with ruthless wyrms, a princess bound by duty and a kingdom doomed: with the awakening of fire-breathing dragons, Among the Burning Flowers reveals the first sparks of danger that threaten to consume the world in The Priory of the Orange Tree.
