A spellbinding masterpiece hailed as 'a magnificent, sweeping epic' by Jennifer Saint, the Sunday Times-bestselling author of Ariadne. Samantha Shannon, lauded as 'simply a master of the genre' by C. S. Pacat, returns to the enthralling world of her Sunday Times and New York Times-bestseller, The Priory of the Orange Tree.
In this intricate and expansive tale, we follow the intertwined fates of four remarkable women. Tunuva Melim, a seasoned sister of the Priory, grapples with a younger generation's doubts about their purpose. To the north, Glorian, daughter of the ambitious Queen Sabran of Inys, lurks in the shadows of her parents' legacy. In the East, Dumai dedicates her life to awakening slumbering gods, whilst an unexpected visitor from her mother's past threatens to derail her destiny.
As the Dreadmount erupts, ushering in an era of terror and violence, these women must summon unprecedented courage to shield humanity from a catastrophic threat. Shannon's narrative prowess weaves a tapestry of dragon lore, political intrigue, and personal growth, illuminating events that shaped this world for generations.
A Day of Fallen Night is a triumph of fantasy literature, earning accolades from the Metro, Cosmopolitan, Nerd Daily, PinkNews, and Waterstones as a must-read book of 2023. Prepare to be transported to a realm where dragons slumber, ambition reigns, and the fate of humankind hangs in the balance.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
