Series


Thank you for your interest in my writing. My website is in desperate need of revamping, but I'll try to fill you in on the various series and hopefully help people decide where to start reading. To learn more about each book, see this page. I should also mention that you can buy copies directly from my store. Doing so cuts out the middlemen (so a higher percentage of your money will stay with me), and you can get your books signed.

Currently, I have four different series and one standalone novel. They are:
  • The Riyria Revelations: Theft of Swords | Rise of Empire | Heir of Novron
  • The Riyria Chronicles: The Crown Tower | The Rose and the Thorn | The Death of Dulgath | The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter
  • Legends of the First Empire: Age of Myth | Age of Swords Age of War | Age of Legend | Age of Death | Age of Empyre
  • The Rise and Fall: Nolyn | Farilane  | Esrahaddon
  • Hollow World 
Chronological Listing of books:


People often confuse The Riyria Revelations and The Riyria Chronicles. To further complicate matters, the Riyria Revelations series was published in two different ways. The original self-published versions were released as six novels. When Orbit bought the rights to the series, the six books were re-released as three, two-book omnibus editions. The original versions are now out of print and not widely available. Here is how they break down:
  • Theft of Swords contains (The Crown Conspiracy & Avempartha)
  • Rise of Empire contains (Nyphron Rising and The Emerald Storm)
  • Heir of Novron contains (Wintertide & Percepliquis)

Series Timelines

All the fantasy books take place in my fictional world called Elan but at different historical times. 
  • Riyria Revelations - furthest forward in the timeline

  • Riyria Chronicles - a prequel to Revelations that occurs 10 years in the past

  • Legends of the First Empire - a separate series occurring 3,000 years in the past

  • The Rise and Fall - the "bridge books" that cover the time between Legends and Riyria which shows the formation and decline of the First Empire. There are large "time gaps" within this series. The first book takes place 850 years after the events of Legends of the First Empire, the second book jumps forward another 1,000 years, and the last book is a few hundred past the second.
Some people call Legends a prequel (because it happens before the Riyria books), but that's not accurate. First, the characters (the heart of the book) are very different between the two series. Also, the events in Legends take place in the distant past when the cultures and technology were dramatically different. Most importantly, no knowledge of Riyria is required to enjoy the Legend books to their fullest. As such, these are two independent series that just happen to share the same geography. The primary connection between the two is that characters who are mentioned in historical terms in Riyria are met face-to-face in Legends. For those who do read the Riyria books, they'll see the contrast between legends and the reality of the people who shaped the world.

Because the Rise and Fall books fit between Legends and Riyria it could also be thought of as a prequel to Riyria and a sequel to Legends, but again, this wouldn't be accurate. Like Legends and Riyria, this trilogy tells its own self-contained story - and while there are mentions to people and events in the past, it's not necessary to have read Legends to enjoy the Rise and Fall series.  If you have no interest in Legends, then you can certainly start with Nolyn (Book #1 of Rise and Fall), that said, it WILL contain spoilers (such as who won the First Great War, who lived, and who died).  So if you "think" you will be reading Legends, I highly recommend you read that series before starting with The Rise and Fall.

Chronicles vs. Revelations

Unlike Legends or The Rise and Fall, The Riyria Chronicles truly are a prequel to Revelations. I know many people shy away from prequels, and I think that's unfortunate as there are some great stories in the Chronicle novels. I will say that I'm pleased that so many people refer to Chronicles as "prequels done right." To understand why I wrote a prequel (rather than a sequel) some background would help.

When I wrote the six novels of the Revelations, I completed the entire series before publishing any of the books. This technique allowed me to create a story with interwoven plot threads and a satisfying conclusion.  I didn't expect there to be any more stories with Royce and Hadrian, but pressure from my wife (who has a crush on Hadrian), and outcries from my readers, encouraged me to write more. I feared that "tacking on" by writing a sequel would have the very real possibility of ruining an ending I was exceedingly pleased with.  So I decided to go to "the other end" of the timeline. Since Royce and Hadrian had been together for twelve years before the first page of the Riyria Revelations, it made sense to go back in time and explore the full details of how they met and formed their little thieves-for-hire enterprise.

I wrote The Riyria Chronicle very differently than The Riyria Revelations. I would rather have the pair leave too soon than overstay their welcome. As such, the Chronicles are standalone novels, and I want to be able to end the series without leaving readers hanging with unanswered plot points. So I release a book, take the reader's pulse, and if they still want more...well, no one is happier than myself. I've outlined ten novels, but I have no idea if all of them will be produced. Because of this uncertainty, I write those stories as standalone tales. Writing self-contained novels also means that each Chronicle could serve as an introduction point for the entire body of work that is Riyria.

Because the two series are so closely related, people often ask me where they should begin. When I started writing Chronicles, one of my goals was to ensure an enjoyable reading experience for people regardless of which book #1 they started with. Personally, I prefer the order of publication for the following reasons:

  • It's a better value - each book is two full-length novels in one volume, and since all the books cost the same, you get two books for the price of one.
  • It's the way I wanted to introduce readers to the characters and the world. I start out simply (holding back so I can expose character backgrounds and world building across the whole narrative). And I ramp up the stakes with each subsequent novel. The idea was to make each book better than the previous, and feedback indicates I hit that goal.
  • I put little Easter eggs in Chronicles for people who have read Revelations. These aren't anything that would affect the plot, just little winks and nods for "people in the know."

So, with that in mind, I suggest starting with Theft of Swords.  But if you like tales told chronologically, then, by all means, begin with The Crown Tower. Those that have read chronologically swear their way is best, so I feel like I hit the mark of making either approach work well.

Here's a handy guide for all the Riyria books:

Legends of the First Empire


As mentioned, this series is completely separate from my other books, and no prior knowledge of Riyria is necessary to enjoy Legends. For those who do read both, they'll find many Easter eggs related to the truth behind historical figures. After all, history is written by the victors and they dictate what future generations will remember about their exploits.

Like Revelations, all six books of The Legends of the First Empire were written before the first book was published. Del Rey released books #1 through #3 on a once-a-year schedule, but the last three books are self-published by myself (learn why that is), and they are released on an accelerated scheduled (all three books in a 10 month span). The release dates for each are here:
  • Age of Myth - June 2016
  • Age of  Swords - July 2017
  • Age of  War - July 2018
  • Age of  Legend - July 2019
  • Age of Death - February 2020
  • Age of Empyre - May 2020
That's six books in less than 4 years, which is a pretty good track record (actually it's 7 books, because The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter came out in December of 2017 (buy direct) and October 2018 (standard retail).

The Rise and Fall

The title of the series pretty much tells it all.  If the Legend of First Empire shows the events leading up to the founding of the greatest empire in the history of Elan, then this series shows how its assertion and decline.

While this is technically a series, each book shows a particular point in time as seen through the eyes of a legendary historical figure. As such, each is more "standalone:" than say the Riyria Revelations. In other words, you won't follow the same characters over a short period of time, instead you'll cover several hundred years by "peaking" at a particular important aspect in time.


Where to start

Okay, so given all that, where should you begin reading? Well, several possibilities exist: 
  • Age of Myth (book #1 of Legends of the First Empire) - if you like epic fantasy with a large ensemble cast, or you enjoy reading in order of publication.
  • Theft of Swords (book #1 of Riyria Revelations) - if you like adventure stories with likable rogues who "have a very particular set of skills; skills they have acquired over a very long career." And you want their story to unfold as originally intended by the author.
  • The Crown Tower (book #1 of Riyria Chronicles) - if you like adventure stories with likable rogues and you prefer to read chronologically.
  • The Death of Dulgath (book #3 of Riyria Chronicles) - if you are interested in the Riyria books but want to hedge your bet a bit. This is a standalone novel, so if you don't like it, you won't be left with unanswered questions that would occur when starting with the other Riyria books. If you do like it, then I would suggest the next read should be Theft of Swords, and you should read the remaining books in order of publication.
  • The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter (book #4 of Riyria Chronicles) - Like The Death of Dulgath, this is a standalone novel, so if you don't like it, you won't be left with unanswered questions that would occur when starting with the other Riyria books. If you do like it, then I would suggest the next read should be Theft of Swords, and you should read the remaining books in order of publication.

  • Nolyn - As mentioned earlier, you should not start with Nolyn if you have plans to read the Legends of the First Empire, if, however, you plan on skipping those six stories, then you can start here (and you'll learn some of the important facts from Legends that will provide context to the Rise and Fall books.

Works in Progress

Here is a brief overview of what's coming down the road
  • Drumindor (The Riyria Chronicles #5) - As of March 8th, I have 2 chapters left to write in this book. No release date scheduled yet.

  • Hollow World Sequel  (Hollow World #2) - This book is outlined, but I've yet to begin writing it. Nor do I know IF I will write it. It depends on other projects that keep jumping in front of it.

  1. I just finished my second listen through the Riyira Revelations series and, as always, the second time around brings up more detail!

    I'm stuck with the feeling that there could be a book series that picks up where Revelations ends. (SPOILER ALERT) since Marick took Deegan's necklace did he survive Royce's assasination attempt?
    Since Ally told Arista that Arcadiace could do magic and we never saw him do any, did he survive the explosion and if so, is he still scheming and manipulating?

    What about the guy Ezra Harden was scared of? The one who set the world on a wobble to watch how it would correct itself, where is the resolution for his storyline thread? Does he have agents or descendants in Elan that are causing a wobble?

    I sure hope your planning on answering these questions in a new book series soon!

    PS sorry if I got the names wrong, I've been listening to your books on audible!

    1. Hey Nathanael,
      Glad you enjoyed the books. These are all questions worthy of speculation. I can't say when and how they are answered - as that would spoil the fun. But yes some of these are addressed in existing books or future releases.

  4. I've just finished rereading the Riyria Revelations for the first time since 2012 (I think) and I'd forgotten how much I loved them. Thank you so much for these wonderful books. I actually cried quite a bit when I finished them because the story was over and I had to leave these wonderful characters and because everything just came together so well, and parts of the ending were very emotional! I read a lot of good fantasy and never cry so thank you! I love how all the hints you've dropped through the book come together at the end but they're not enough to let the reader guess the full story before then. I'll have to get stuck into the Chronicles to get more of the characters - I'm glad I guess that you didn't go with a sequel, as the ending really is perfect (much as I never want to stop reading about them!).

  5. Keep it up my friend! You have a true talent for words and character/world development. I'm just finished with the The Riyria Revelations and The The Riyria Chronicles and beginning The Age of Myth as we speak. I'm listening through Audible and the Narrator is really making magic of an already brilliant set of tales. I'm bummed the rest won't be ready for a while yet. Ahhhhh! You said to reach out and share how we the readers feel....well I for one want more Royce and Hadrian. You should really consider a sequel to Revelations. I know you wanted it to end well but there's so much more to know about these characters AFTER the major events of Revelations!! I loved hearing the little anecdotes about how your wife was involved in helping the books along and encouraged you to write more about these two guys. I couldn't agree more. Can't wait to see what else is up your sleeve.

  6. I just finished Riyria Revelations and I was immensely satisfied by all of it. So well done! I loved the books so much! I'm planning to start the Chronicles right away as well, however I only have ONE thing I really wanted that I didn't get..... a few answers. (SPOILERS!!!!)............. It never really explained how Royce was the heir, it was just kind of "oh he's the heir" which was awesome but had no explanation, how did he survive when Hadrians dad was with the family and they got killed? Was he the actual twin? If he was, why did he grow up alone on the street? And what was the thing Miranda's mom did that was so wrong and only found out about when her mom died? I must know. And the also, with Nevrik being an elf, or at least half an elf, and their average lifespan being 3,000 years, based on that couldn't Nevrik (or at the very least his son) still be alive somewhere since it's only 1,000 years after he ran? Honestly the books themselves don't need these answers, because they are perfectly brilliant as is, but it's just the few things my brain held onto! I would love a sequel to these though, maybe more about Mercy and Allie managing to bring the two sides together more, but realistically I'll read anything you write! You're amazing! Can't wait to read the Chronicles! <3 <3 <3

    2. Max is correct. The only thing I didn't specifically say was how Royce survived after Miranda's mother abandoned him. That's for another day, but honestly, if you're smart and read carefully, it ought to be obvious.

    3. I have listened to these books 7 times now and have the same questions as the commenter above. I'm guessing that the terrible thing Miranda's mom did was abandon Royce as a baby. Was he a twin? Did Degan grow up thinking he was adopted even though he was actually her biological son? How did this story unfold? We can't all have the incredibly nuanced mind of Royce. Some of us are more like Haydrian. We take things at face value and miss some of the more subtler clues. As stated above, the story is amazing as is. THANK YOU for sharing Royce and Hadrian with us. I love listening to them chatter and bicker with each other and find myself laughing and giggling at their exchanges. Thank you for writing the stories that fill in the gaps between Chronicles and Revelations and I too would really love it if you would write a sequel series to Revelations. I'm not done with Royce and Hadrian and hope that you aren't either!

    4. I want to tell you but wont post the spoilers here. It's all in the books. Listen to what Arcadius tells Miranda.
      There are other hidden things in these books that connect to the legends series. I BIG clue on the way to the emperor's tomb. You'll just have to listen and enjoy it again to find out.
      The answers really are there. It's not like "who killed Asmodeon".

      Delete
    5. Lol... Love the reference to "who killed Asmodeon" (Robert Jordan)
      I don't think of it as a spoiler to say that Miranda stated her mother seen the womans abdomin move after the killers left the room.

  7. I listened to the whole series about 2 years ago everyday at work. It got to the point where I couldn't wait to get to work so I could listen and I would dream about it at night. LOL I think this entire series would make and excellent movie as long as you don't budge on the story and keep it exactly the same. A tv series or cartoon would also be nice where some of the shorter side stories can be told.

  9. Hi Michael, I read Age of Myth and honestly loved the book. I read the hobbit and lord of the rings and tried to find something along those lines of the fantasy, "middle earth" type of book. This is exactly what I was looking for. On your website and store there are pre order promotions for age of myth but not for age of swords. I would love to purchase a pre order package for age of swords as well as age of war from you. A book mark signed, the map and all the other additions sounds great! I was wondering if I would be able to buy a pre order package from you directly, so you get the most of my money, and I could receive a signed copy or something like that.
    Keep up the great work, the book was fantastic. I also had two other thoughts and I know it would be a long stretch but have you thought about making this into a movie series? I just picture seeing the trailer to age of myth while listening to The Sound of Silence by Disturbed. This would be such an awesome movie series. I know that's a stretch but just wanted to know your thoughts. The other thought I had was about you attending comic con for promoting your books. I have been to comic con in Providence, RI and in Boston and they have tables that would be perfect for you. I'd absolutely love to meet you and ask more questions about the series but this is just a thought. It would likely be a great experience and I'm sure it would be a good promotion if your series.
    I know this post is long but I appreciate you reading through to this point, it means a lot when an author truly makes the effort with their readers.
    Keep up the great work! I hope to hear from you soon,
    Ted Batchelder

  11. So, I love all your books, but as I start listening to age of swords, I have a vague recollection of listening to a story prior to age of myth about glendora before there was one ruler. Did you do a short story somewhere or did I just dream that up.

  14. I've read both Riyiria books on Audible several times, I love them so much. I'm coming to the end of Age of Swords (after re-reading Age of Myth), and I dread finishing it. Tim Gerard Reynolds is the perfect narrator for your books! I see and appreciate how much you've grown as a writer and look forward to reading and savoring each "Age" book plus any other treats you publish. Because I don't read paper books any more, I miss out on things in paper books, like maps and the spelling of character names. Maps especially, because I enjoy seeing the relationships of places to each other. Thank you so much for this gift of worlds and peoples engaged in such fascinating journeys!

  18. Hello! I just finished Theft of Swords last night and I have a question regarding something that confused me. I thought that the one to wield the sword that killed the Gilarabrywn was the Heir of Novron as well as emperor, but Esrahaddon makes a comment at the end of the book that he is still searching for the Heir. Are the heir and emperor two different people? Is the emperor(ess) supposed to be the Heir's protector? I was a bit confused. Clarification would be most welcome...thanks! Started the next book!

  22. Thank you, Michael, for introducing us to Royce and Hadrien, and to Tim Gerard Reynolds for bringing them to life. I was thrilled to meet them again in "Disappearance of Winter's Daughter" and would love to hear more about their adventures (either in the past or in the future, after the last Riyira Revelations books). Knowing how much I love Royce and Hadrien, I was hesitant to start The Legends series, but loved it almost as much as the Riyira novels. Can't wait for the Age of War to come out, and hopefully to read more in the Riyira series! Lienna

  24. It is super misleading to tell people they can read Age of Myth without having read Riyria Revelations. That is what hapened to me. I liked Age of myth very much, so moved on to Revelations only to discover that the big secret of the series has been completely spoilered by having read Age of Myths. You spend six books getting to the bottom of this secret, which is completely obvious from just reading the cast of characters of Age of Myths. I still loved Revelations but am really sorry to have not have had a fresh viewpoint of it. I wish you mention this somewhere so other people's experience is not ruined.

  25. Best. Books. Ever! I've listened to them several times (awesome narrator by the way) both chronologically and published. Both ways are great! I'm currently listening to them again, (chronologically) for the 5th time and I'm exited for the Legends series to finish so I can add them to my library. Thank you for providing a fun, interesting world that does not require strong language or undue violence to make the story great. I love and care about the characters and it feels like old friends are visiting when I listen to the series again. Keep writing and I'll keep reading/listening! Aloha!

  27. Working on the beginning of Age of Swords and I'm loving the Dwarves. I've enjoyed the racial tensions and the cultures behind them you've instilled. It's refreshing to get into someone else's fantasy world that isn't filtered through the standard Dungeons and Dragons array I'm very used too.

    Can't wait to see what other cultures pop up outside of the main three races.

    I have fingers crossed for some more info on the Ghazel and the darker things of the world.

    Thank you for reinvigorating my imagination and helping me step out of the bonds I forged for myself by filtering my fantasy too much.

  31. I have a question that has been bothering me for days. I just finished Chronicles for the first time and I loved it, but the whole Heir thing being Royce both made sense and also made no sense. What about the family that Dan was guarding that got killed? Was Royce the twin that was saved? If so, was he thrown out when the midwife found out he was mir and she just kept the necklace and gave it to Degan? Was Degan the twin that was saved, and Dan was somehow guarding the wrong family? If that was true, how did the midwife get the necklace? I am so confused. Was this ever addressed and I just missed it? Someone please clear this up for me.

    1. What about the family that Dan was guarding that got killed? - Dan was guarding the right family.

      Was Royce the twin that was saved? - Yes.

      If so, was he thrown out when the midwife found out he was mir and she just kept the necklace and gave it to Degan? - She tossed Royce out when Arcadius started poking around looking for baby Royce, whom he knew was the surviving heir. She kept the necklace because she thought it was valuable.

      Was Degan the twin that was saved, and Dan was somehow guarding the wrong family? - Nope, Dan was guarding the right family.

      If that was true, how did the midwife get the necklace? - She took it off of the dead twin baby (the heir put it on what he assumed was his only, and now dead, child) after she managed to deliver Royce out of his dead mother. She then ran out with both baby Royce and the necklace.

  34. I am super exited to see two of my favorite book series continuing (in contrast to some king killing and throne gaming stories). And now, you have announced a new series that fills the time gap between Empire and Riyria. Here are two kind of contradicting questions/remarks: (1) I don't see another Riyria Chronicles book in the making? I so enjoyed the humor, the witty dialogue, and the insides into the back stories of Royce and Hadrian. Please, don't let their voices be silent for too long. (2) Sometimes, it is better to not tell everything in all detail. As asked and replied to in an earlier comment, I too would like to know if Royce and Hadrian ever meet again after the end of Revelation - but I agree that this stories' end better stays untouched. Aren't you afraid, however, that with the bridge series you are exactly doing that. To borrow from another of my favorite stories: Don't you're running the risk of the story becoming "thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.”?

  35. I am an audible fantasy book junkie and Mr. Sullivan’s works are some of the few books I actually go back and re-listen to. His characters are interesting, the drama is well executed, events always unfold in a way slightly different than what I expect, and throughout it all he manages to keep a sense of humor. But if I had to name the one thing above all else that keeps me coming back, it would be that he writes (and Mr. Reynolds narrates) stories that are genuinely fun to listen to. They move and flow in an enjoyable fashion. I wish I could be more specific, but, for me, that’s what it comes down to.

    Mr. Sullivan, if you happen to read this, I just wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work. I am enjoying everything you are writing, and the fantasy genre could do with more authors like yourself.

  36. I just finished reading chapter 15 in Age of War... I gotta say, this is among, if not, THE best chapter(s)! The character development through interrupted scenes, the set up for story-timing, the revelation of backstory, then the general cluster-mess of a climax... fantastically done, sir! As much as I dug on Hadrian and Royce, this Age Of series is a really good follow up. How can I get my hands on the next three books as quickly as possible?

  37. I started out reading all of the Legends of the Empires that have been released. Now i am on Heir of Novron ( the 3rd book in Revelations) I will stick w the facts and not my
    opinions ( which by the way i love how the order i’ve chosen to read them in) Mr. Sullivan has given OVERLY extensive suggestions on the order of the books... from what other people think; to a re-cap of them; the timelines both chronological and publications.... let’s not forget he even let us know how many years apart they are. What exactly should he have mentioned ? If i had read them in a didferent order certain mysteries would have been revealed and others kept hidden... Spoilers is s really strong word, we are taking about books written... you know what forget it. You should have read them in chronological order !!! Like he suggested ..Mr Sullivan you can tell a the help of his wife thought a lot about everything. so i’m glad you are enjoying them but just relax. let yourself have that ah hah moment.. I am so obsessed w your works mr sullivan . i go too sleep in the world you have created and i love learning new secrets. you’re extremely talented . thank you.

I absolutely love it and I have read them over and over again!!! Also, do you think these books could be turned into a movie or t.v. series? That would be AWESOME!

I'm a big Terry Brooks, Jeff Wheeler, Brian Sanderson, Robin Hobbs fan and I now I add you to my list. I like the way you write the language that very contemporary and very relatable to our way of being today. Your characters are realistic and feel the world around them.

I have just completed I have just completed The Chronicles and then The Revelations series and I am so hooked, It was not until a little into The Revelations that I found my mind unpacking old chess strategy moves that I relalized how interwoven those moves were into the plot. I loved it all the more when my mind clicked on the complexity of this crafting. I also identified what I assumed to be the authors inserting himself as a character within the plot, at least I hope that it was the authors own persona or avatar. Bravo Bravo!

  49. I am a lifelong reader. I love to read and immerse myself into other worlds. That being said, I have been listening to audiobooks recently due to my horrifically long drive to and from work, and have loads of audios to chose from at my local library. I just finished the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, amazing story and was looking for a new series to dive into. I happened to stumble upon your Age of Myth and plot looked good, decided to try it out.

    LOVE IT. I had quickly within my first trip to work fallen in love with your characters. I am on Age of Swords now and I pray my library will have book 3 available, or can at least obtain it from our nearby larger library,

    I have to admit, I am a plot snob and have little tolerance for “simple” writings where small effort was put into plot line, character building, and story intensity. After reading your explanation of your writing style, I am impressed, but it also explains why your books are so well developed.

    My grandmother was a retired English teacher and taught me to read and the love of a great story at a very young age. Your series are the types of story’s she prepared me for.

    I’m extremely excited to enjoy the rest of the Age of... series, meanwhile looking into the Chronicles and Revelation series. Thank you for providing stories worth reading.

  50. So, 2nd time typing this, first time didn't work apparently. I love The Legends of the First Empire series, my favorite character is Suri. I just finished the latest book which seemed like a very long wait for it be released, and now I have to wait until November to continue the adventure, argh! I hate long waits between books, I half forget what happened in the last book. Why can't you release more than one book in a series in a year? While I'm waiting I'm going to start over with the first book again. Love your characters, well most of them anyway, and love the story! Thanks!

  53. I read just about everything you have written and I love your work. That being said, age of Legends, put me in a griping mood. Outstanding book, but how could you leave off the way you did!?!? Also, after reading the first few Royce and Hadrian adventures, I caught on to a pattern and it kind of made the rest of the series less enjoyable. In just about every book Hadrian and Royce get tricked, then captured. I came to expect it, and then of coarse to expect the miraculous escape afterwords. Of coarse, if you expect it, it is not all that miraculous. They apparently even got captured between books and spent a year in prison. There has got to be a better story line than, "Ryera bites off more than it can chew, then gets tricked and captured, then eventually gets bailed out." I would even rather have one of them die than get captured again. Or how about the best fighter and the best assassin in the world use their skills to kick butt, take names, and get their way every once in a while, instead of somehow lucking their way to victory (after being tricked and captured). Just a thought.

  55. I like your approach to publishing the series - to self publish. There is nothing worse than getting engrossed with the story line and then find out that there is a one- two- three-year or a unknown wait until the next book in the series is released. Like better yet is that the ending of the series was completed (Riyria). Nothing is worse than starting a series and then something happens to the author where the ending is never published or it is finished posthumously from the author's notes (Wheel of Time). Again! thank you for going to self-publishing. Love the story lines and enjoy rereading.

  85. Thank you for the wonderful stories. I purchased "Age of Myth" in paperback at a sci-fi, fantasy book shop in LAX airport in August 2017 before a flight to Ireland with 22 members of my family clan. I was disappointed that I had to wait for the next Myth & Legends book. After some research I was able to acquire "Riyria Revelations" through your website. Awesome!!! Now all Chronicles & Myth & Legends have read and greatly enjoyed.
    You wiley Author!! While reading the last 2 Myth & Legends that there were nuggets of info in "The Death of Dulgath". I reread the Sneak Peek. Click, click, click. You make me grin. Such a great storyteller. Quality writing, character development & story line. Thank you.

  89. Came here to order the Crown Tower as I just finished Heir of Novron. What I’m noticing in the comments is that your readers are most attached to the characters that introduced them to the world of Elan. Speaks to the quality of both series!
    I started with Legends as I picked up Age of Myth on a whim for a flight. I absolutely loved it and quickly devoured the the first 4 in the series and bought the next two on Kickstarter while anxiously awaiting their release.
    Nothing against Royce and Hadrian but I find myself more fond of Persephone, Moya, Raithe, and the rest of the gang.
    I was very happy with the Revelations series and am wondering if it would be my preferred series if I started there. It was interesting being “in the know” but did feel like I lost out on the anticipation regarding the reveals of the Heir, the Patriarch, and the truth about Novron/Nyphron. I also had strong suspicions about Nimbus. The Heir and Patriarch were not explicitly “spoiled” but there was enough context for it to be very easy to know the truth. But spoiler is a harsh term and I am by no means complaining. Just wondering how the perception would be different.
    Looking forward to starting Crown Tower soon and can’t wait for the Rise and Fall series! Thank you so much for your wonderfully created world. It has been a major help for me during this time of Covid.

  90. Hey there,
    I began with Pile of bones to see if I liked your writing style and was impressed. Suri and Mina are such great characters! So I've been listening via audible and absolutely love Legends!! I am on Age of Legends now and am wondering where I should go next. I like things in chronological order(I tend to get lost in time lines if I don't). Where does the new series Rise and Fall fit into the picture? I saw that you like the publication order best as far as Rierya. Could I move on to Chronicals and go to Revelations. Or is it a better read the other way? I really would hate to wait till all the rise and fall books come out before I start on Rieyra I've heard and seen so many good things. I just wanna get the most out of your amazing stories. I enjoy getting author feed back when it possible to get the best advise from the one who knows the most about the story. Thank you so much for your excellent tales, they have given me a break from my kids and this strange reality that has become the norm.

  93. Huge fan of Riyira!! Loved Hadrian but am obsessed with the character Royce. Wondering if there’s a chance that we will get to see more of him post the Revelations series. I would really like to see how he deals with life after becoming a king and father. The character development through the Chronicles books 1 & 2 (haven’t read 3&4 yet) then throughout Revelations was amazing & I would LOVE to see how he handles the next part of his journey.

    1. Esrahaddon (last book in the series that starts with Nolyn) is going to press in just a bit. After that comes Drumindor (which I have 2 chapters left to write. That's the 5th Chronicle and my return to Royce and Hadrian.
