Hey Michael,the Riyria chronicles are all set before the events of Riyria Revalations right? Do you plan on writing for events set after Percepliquis?

Hey Siddharth,
You are correct. The Riyria Chronicles start with Royce and Hadrian meeting which occurred about 12 years before the events in Theft of Swords. I'm really protective of the duo and don't want them to overstay their welcome. So....I'm playing future Royce and Hadrian books by ear. I just finished the third Chronicle (came out in mid December) and I've been gathering feedback from readers with regards to a 4th. At this point, that looks pretty likely, but I'll make an official ruling once I finish the edits on my new series (The Legends of the First Empire). I'm currently re-working Book #4 and should have Book #5 done by April or May. That seems to be the right time to decide.
I do have a planned book that occurs after the event of Percepliquis but it centers primarily on events of Yolric and Erebus. Whether Royce and Hadrian will appear in that book, I just don't know yet. It depends on how far in the future I set that book, which I won't determine until it's time to start writing it.
Thanks for asking.
