Good Reads: The Riyria Book Series by Michael J. Sullivan
The king is dead. Two men were framed for his murder. The plan might have worked if Royce and Hadrian weren’t the ones they tried to set up.
Riyria Revelations is a trilogy written by best-selling author Michael J. Sullivan.
Sullivan’s Dynamic Duo team ~ Royce Melborn, a skilled thief (who is also an assassin), and his mercenary partner, Hadrian Blackwater (who used to be a valiant warrior) ~ have no intentions of being executed and if they have to save the tiny kingdom of Melengar and unravel an ancient mystery to save their necks, then … so be it!
BOOK 1: Theft of Swords
“They killed the king. They pinned it on two men. They chose poorly.”
BOOK 2: Rise of Empire
“A puppet is crowned. The true heir remains hidden. A rogue’s secret could could change everything.”
BOOK 3: Heir of Novron
“A forced wedding. A double execution. Two thieves have other plans.”
This American fantasy novel series continues the events of The Riyria Chronicles and if you would like to follow this epic fantasy from its beginning, then you’ll have to start with the first trilogy.
BOOK 1: The Crown Tower
“Two men who hate each other. One impossible mission. A legend in the making.”
BOOK 2: The Rose and the Thorn
“A dear friend is brutally beaten. Two thieves want answers. Riyria is born.”
BOOK 3: The Death of Dulgath
“Three times they tried to kill her. Then a professional was hired. So was Riyria.”
You won’t believe this. But the root of evil which causes all of the problems for the people ~ the intrigue, the murders, the mayhem ~ is a war between 3 political parties, Imperialists, Nationalists, and Royalists, who are at odds with each other over their vision of what it takes to build a peaceful kingdom. It’s the stuff of epic fantasy and a mirror image of the real politics of nation-building.
