The Priory of the Orange Tree

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon is a standalone epic fantasy in the high fantasy tradition. Two queens on opposite sides of the world face a coming threat, and the book moves between their courts with the slow, patient world building epic fantasy fans love.

The book is long and worth the time. Recommended for readers who liked The Wheel of Time or A Song of Ice and Fire and want something complete in one volume.
