Samantha Shannon is an expert worldbuilder. With her million-copy bestseller The Priory of the Orange Tree (a feminist reimagining of Saint George and the Dragon) she gave us a portal into a magical universe of fire-breathing creatures so real you almost felt the heat. We’re delighted to have her brilliant mind back at the Festival to unpack Among the Burning Flowers, a prequel that imbues this well-loved world with a darker backstory of heartbreak and human resilience. Chaired by Irenosen Okojie.

The livestream for this event will also be available on demand until the end of the year.
