Booksellers Notes
We found In an Orchard Grown from Ash a satisfying and thoughtful conclusion to Rory Power’s duology. It leans into consequence rather than spectacle, and gives its characters room to reckon with what they have broken and what they still hope to save.
Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
The Argyros family has already lost its country. What follows is quieter and more devastating. Scattered by betrayal, each sibling is forced into a different kind of survival, shaped by distance, memory, and power that refuses to stay contained.
In In an Orchard Grown from Ash, Rhea leads a rebellion she never intended to command, grappling with abilities that set her apart from those she fights for. Her closest bond is complicated by grief and resurrection, love returned in a form that no longer feels simple or safe. Elsewhere, Lexos endures captivity with defiance intact, plotting escape alongside an unexpected ally. Chrysanthi is sent across hostile lands in search of the sibling they lost, carrying hope as both burden and weapon.
As conflicts tighten and loyalties fracture, the novel lingers on the cost of leadership and the strain of family bound by shared ruin. It asks whether reconciliation is still possible, or whether some reckonings can only end in ash.
