Slow BurnSapphic Dragons
The Priory of the Orange Tree
A doorstop of a book that earns every page: a queen without an heir, a secret mage guarding her, sea-spanning dragon-riders, and an ancient wyrm stirring underground. The sapphic slow-burn at its centre is worth the wait, and the world is the kind you can fully move into. Read it when you've a long quiet stretch and want to disappear for a week.
