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. /n/nCan 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? /n/nAnd so begins the first tale of treachery and adventure, sword fighting and magic, myth and legend./n/nWhen 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. /n/n"Theft of Swords" was originally published as: "The Crown Conspiracy" and "Avempartha". /n/nBOOKS IN THE RIYRIA REVELATIONS/nTheft of Swords (The Crown Conspiracy & Avempartha)/nRise of Empire (Nyphron Rising & The Emerald Storm)/nHeir of Novron (Wintertide & Percepliquis)
