Theft of Swords
ByPublisher Description
Royce Melborn, a skilled thief, and his mercenary partner, Hadrian Blackwater, make a profitable living carrying out dangerous assignments for conspiring nobles-until they are hired to pilfer a famed sword. What appears to be just a simple job finds them framed for the murder of the king and trapped in a conspiracy that uncovers a plot far greater than the mere overthrow of a tiny kingdom.
Can a self-serving thief and an idealistic swordsman survive long enough to unravel the first part of an ancient mystery that has toppled kings and destroyed empires?
And so begins the first tale of treachery and adventure, sword fighting and magic, myth and legend.
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.

“I really tried to get into this. I even listened to it at 1.5x speed instead of my usual +2x. I had to listen to multiple chapters multiple times (and these are long fucking chapters).
Giving it a 3 stars cause 2 feels too mean, even though a 2 star is more what feels right to me right now, but my anti nauseant is worn off so my gut isn't really a reliable source right now.
The first book felt like a collection of short stories that were half finished and then combined into one. I'd be wondering what the relevance of the new tangent was only for it to be completely irrelevant and included for no reason. I guess it added world building, but I have no sense of this world at all, so idek about how successful that was either.
I am compelled by Ezra de Haddon, they were underutilized honestly.
The second book I listened to as fast as I could comfortably understand cause I was just so done with it. That being said it did end on a cliffhanger and I do wanna know more. I absolutely do not have it in me to move onto the next book ATM, but I am so entirely sick right now so that could also explain a lot.”

“A much needed break from epic fantasy! I didn’t think I’d like the book much as I’ve been on an epic fantasy binge lately, and wanted other books to read as I slowly got through the Stormlight Archive. Is it advisable to read more series? Not recommended. But by gosh it’s worth it. Especially with the satisfaction that this series is completed.
Overall I’m definitely invested. An easy and enjoyable read. On to the next one!”About Michael J. Sullivan
