The long-awaited second instalment in Samantha Shannon's Sunday Times and New York Times-bestselling series.
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.
Intricate and epic, A Day of Fallen Night sweeps readers back to the world of A Priory of the Orange Tree, showing us a course of events that shaped it for generations to come.
Welcome to Scion. No safer place.
The year is 2059. For two centuries, the Republic of Scion has led an
oppressive campaign against unnaturalness in Europe.
In London, Paige Mahoney holds a high rank in the criminal underworld.
The right hand of the ruthless White Binder, Paige is a dreamwalker, a
rare and formidable kind of clairvoyant. Under Scion law, she commits
treason simply by breathing.
When Paige is arrested for murder, she meets the mysterious founders of
Scion, who have designs on her uncommon abilities. If she is to survive
and escape, Paige must use every skill at her disposal – and put her
trust in someone who ought to be her enemy.

Across the dark sea, Tané has trained to be a dragonrider since she was

It is a dark time for clairvoyants. Scion is in league with the Rephaim, an extraordinarily powerful, otherworldly race that intends to make humans its slaves. In an unprecedented feat of bravery, Paige Mahoney has succeeded in leading a mass break-out from the brutal camp, Sheol I, where she and other clairvoyants were systematically

The Sunday Times bestseller, from the bestselling author of The
Bone Season and The Priory of the Orange Tree Paige Mahoney has
eluded death again. Snatched from the jaws of captivity and
consigned to a safe house in the Scion Citadel of Paris, she finds
herself caught between those factions that seek Scion's downfall
and those who would kill to protect the Rephaim's puppet empire.
The mysterious Domino Programme has plans for Paige, but she has
ambitions of her own in this new citadel. With Arcturus Mesarthim -
her former enemy - at her side, she embarks on an adventure that
will lead her from the catacombs of Paris to the glittering
hallways of Versailles. Her risks promise high reward: the Parisian
underworld could yield the means to escalate her rebellion to
outright war. As Scion widens its bounds and the free world
trembles in its shadow, Paige must fight her own memories after her
ordeal at the hands of Scion. Meanwhile, she strives to understand
her bond with Arcturus, which grows stronger by the day. But there
are those who know the revolution began with them - and could end
with them...
A rebel who becomes a queen
The amazing third book in the bestselling Bone Season series - a ground-breaking, dystopian fantasy of extraordinary imagination
Following a bloody battle against foes on every side, Paige Mahoney has risen to the dangerous position of Underqueen, ruling over London's criminal population.
But, having turned her back on Jaxon Hall and with vengeful enemies still at large, the task of stabilising the fractured underworld has never seemed so challenging.
Little does Paige know that her reign may be cut short by the introduction of a deadly technology that spells doom for the clairvoyant community and the world as they know it.
