A Day of Fallen Night

Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory and for fifty years she has trained herself to kill wyrms…although none have appeared since the Nameless One! Unsurprisingly, the younger generation begins to question whether the Priory has any purpose. Elsewhere to the north in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious marries the new King of Hroth, saving both realms from disaster. Their daughter Glorian is happy to trail behind in their shadow. The dragons of the East have been sleeping for centuries, while Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple trying to wake the gods from their long slumber. But someone from her mother’s past is intent on making a comeback to upend her fate. When the Dreadmount erupts, bringing with it an age of terror and violence, it is up to this formidable trio of women to protect humankind from a terrifying threat.

“The standalone prequal to Priory interweaves the stories of three wildly different women who fight to save their world from destruction. A Day of Fallen Night is an epic of the fantasy genre written with flair, creativity, and extraordinary vision. An action packed, multi-layered story that also reads as a feminist adventure.”
