Books by Samantha Shannon

Samantha Shannon is a British author of fantasy fiction. She began publishing with The Bone Season, a dystopian fantasy series, while still a student at Oxford. The Priory of the Orange Tree (2019) is her first standalone novel and her most acclaimed work, praised for its meticulous world-building and its subversion of epic fantasy conventions. The book's release was notable for its length — nearly 850 pages as a standalone — and for its centering of queer relationships. Shannon continues to write the Roots of Chaos series, a companion to The Priory of the Orange Tree.
