Among the Burning Flowers
(The Roots of Chaos #0.2)

An epic fantasy about the fictional kingdom of Yscalin and its centuries-long fight against the dragons.

This prequel directly precedes Shannon's The Priory of the Orange Tree. Marosa can't escape the control of her father, King Sigoso. Just over the mountains, Aubrecht, her betrothed, all but officially rules Mentendon. They've vowed to bring about a better world together. Estina, Draconic hunter, isn't so optimistic about the future; maybe she's right, because the great wyrm Fýredel is waking up.
