Meet Samantha Shannon, author of the ‘The Bone Season’ series and ‘Roots of Chaos’ epic fantasy series at St Cuthbert’s Church in Edinburgh, hosted by Topping and Company Booksellers, to celebrate the release of ‘Among the Burning Flowers’, the next book in the ‘Roots of Chaos’ series.

Yscalin, land of sunshine and lavender, will soon be ablaze.  

It has been centuries since the Draconic Army took wing, almost extinguishing humankind.  

Marosa Vetalda is a prisoner in her own home, controlled by her cold father, King Sigoso. Over the mountains, her betrothed, Aubrecht Lievelyn, rules Mentendon in all but name. Together, they intend to usher in a better world.  

A better world seems impossibly distant to Estina Melaugo, who hunts the Draconic beasts that have slept across the world for centuries.  

And now the great wyrm Fýredel is stirring, and Yscalin will be the first to fall...
