Few authors can claim to have drawn readers into two lushly rendered fantasy worlds in the span of a decade. With The Priory of the Orange Tree, Samantha Shannon unveiled the next frontier of her febrile imagination; here, she discusses her masterful epic, and what the future may hold for The Roots of Chaos series.
