The adventure continues as Royce and Hadrian aid the struggling kingdom of Melengar as it alone stands in defiance against the newly formed empire. War approaches and a desperate gamble behind enemy lines is their only chance at forming an alliance with the Nationalists to the south. But Royce has plans of his own as he uses this opportunity to discover if an ancient wizard is using Riyria as pawns in his own bid for power. To find the truth, Royce must unravel Hadrian's hidden past. What he discovers will lead them to the end of the known world, on a journey rife with treachery and intrigue.When author Michael J. Sullivan self-published the first books of his Riyria Revelations, they rapidly became ebook bestsellers. Now, Orbit is pleased to present the complete series for the first time in bookstores everywhere.

"Heir of Novron is my favorite. I feel like you can feel the growth in characters. If you go back to book one right after you dont even recognize them."

"The Riyria Revelations books continue to be entertaining, but the quality of both the writing and the story leaves something to be desired. I've been listening to the audiobook version of this with Nicole and I often wake up in the morning having dozed off. Not quite the effect an adventure novel should have! There are certainly some witty zingers in here, but Sullivan's handling of tension and emotion often feels clumsy and forced. But I have to finish the series now to find out how it all ends... only one more book to go."

"Oh yes, I loved these when I stumbled onto them!"

"His new book, Nolyn, just came out. I'm going to read that as soon as I finish Stephen King's new book, Billy Summers."
