The Crown Conspiracy by Michael J. Sullivan (Book 1 of the Riyria Revelations)

ABOUT THE BOOK

They killed the king. They pinned it on two men. They chose poorly. There's no ancient prophecy or orphan destined for greatness just two guys in the wrong place at the wrong time. Royce Melborn, a skilled thief, and his mercenary partner, Hadrian Blackwater make a profitable living carrying out dangerous assignments for conspiring nobles until they become the unwitting scapegoats in a plot to murder the king. Sentenced to death, they have only one way out…and so begins this epic tale of treachery and adventure, sword fighting and magic, myth and legend.

RECENT REVIEWS

"The Crown Conspiracy is great fun and a romp end to end...Highly recommended and another positive surprise for 2008." — Fantasy Book Critic (named a 2008 Indie Notable)

"Great characters, delightful misdirection, good world building, and just the right amount of humor. If I had to describe this book with one word, that word would be fun!"" — The Old Bat's Belfry "Michael J. Sullivan has written a book I will read over and over again and it most definitely will always reside on my favorite’s shelf. "  —  ReaderViews Reviews

ABOUT THE SERIES

The Crown Conspiracy is book one of the multi-book saga: The Riyria Revelations. Instead of a string of sequels this six-book fantasy series was conceived as a single epic tale divided into individual episodes. All were written before the first was released so that plot elements are intertwined, yet each is self-contained and can be read independently from each other. The Riyria Revelations is written for adults but has been written for a PG-13 audience and can be enjoyed by ages 12 and up.

ABOUT THE BOOK

''The secret is in the tower. The problem is the beast. The answer is two thieves.''

When a destitute young woman hires two thieves to help save her remote village from nocturnal attacks, they are drawn into the schemes of the wizard Esrahaddon. While Royce struggles to breech the secrets of an ancient elven tower, Hadrian attempts to rally the villagers to defend themselves against an unseen killer. What begins with the simple theft of a sword places the two thieves at the center of a firestorm — that could change the future of Elan.

RECENT REVIEWS

"Mr. Sullivan continues to impress. In Royce and Hadrian he has created some of the best characters the genre has seen in some time, and in Avempartha he shows that he knows what to do with them. These books should be in every bookstore" — Speculative Fiction Junkie

"Avempartha is another strong entry that exceeds its predecessor in both depth and scope. The Riyria Revelations is shaping up to be one of the most original and entertaining fantasy series I’ve seen in years on par, and often better, than anything any of the major publishers have to offer. Get reading people!" — King of the Nerds Fantasy Reviews

"In short, “Avempartha” is highly, highly recommended and a novel that raises Michael Sullivan’s The Riyria Revelations to “major league” status." — Fantasy Book Critic

ABOUT THE SERIES

Avempartha is book two of the multi-book saga: The Riyria Revelations.
