ABOUT THE BOOK When a destitute young woman hires Royce and Hadrian to help save her remote village from nocturnal attacks, they are once more 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 the unseen killer. Once more, what begins with the simple theft of a sword places the two thieves at the center of a firestorm — but this time the outcome could change the future of Elan.
ABOUT THE SERIES Avempartha is book two 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. With this series you will not be held hostage to read the next one--you will simply want to. Coming in April 2009, the second book entitled Avempartha is available for pre-order now from Amazon.com.
REVIEWS "Excellent follow up to The Crown Conspiracy. Though follow up may not be the right word, since The Crown Conspiracy was essentially a standalone with hints of the larger picture, while Avempartha goes straight into the deeper issues of Mr. Sullivan's richly imagined universe. Taking the series to the next level, Avempartha exceeded my (already high) expectations." -- Liviu (Fantasy Book Critic)
"I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It wasn't anything earth shattering, but it was a fun, clean read and an entertaining fantasy. The characters are likable, and though they tend toward the stereotypes (thief with a good heart, mysterious wizard, etc.), they were still entertaining." -- Jeanna (Good Reads)
