“A Day of Fallen Night is a mythic and timeless mediation on grief, faith and the bonds of love and fealty that define us. An exquisite epic fantasy.” Tasha Suri

“Aching in its intimacy and undaunted in its chaos, never before has such terror presented itself so tenderly. A tremendous triumph. The Roots of Chaos series firmly plants Shannon as a master of the genre.” London Shah
