The Priory of the Orange Tree
THE INTERNATIONAL SENSATION
By Samantha Shannon
Harry Hartog's review
One of the most vivid and beautiful fantasy bestsellers, The Priory of the Orange Tree, perfectly blends battle, magic, myth, romance, LGBTQ+, and adventure, to transport us to the midst of an excellently crafted universe that is as detailed as it is expansive. With stunning imagery and spellbinding action, Samantha Shannon delivers to us a truly unique novel of international acclaim. This has easily become one of my favourite books! Comparable to some of the greatest fantasy novels, you’ll find it impossible to put it down, making this a must have addition to any reader’s collection. - Rohan, Harry Hartog Macquarie
