About this listen

Audie Award Nominee, Fantasy, 2013

Acclaimed author Michael J. Sullivan created instant best sellers with his spellbinding Riyria Revelations series. This first volume introduces Royce Melborn and Hadrian Blackwater, two enterprising thieves who end up running for their lives when they’re framed for the death of the king. Trapped in a conspiracy bigger than they can imagine, their only hope is unraveling an ancient mystery - before it’s too late.

Theft of Swords contains The Crown Conspiracy and Avempartha, books 1 and 2 of Riyria Revelations.

A Lucky Find

I'm fussy about my audiobooks but I'm glad I took a chance on Theft of Swords. I like the two protagonists, and their different personalities and tones. The hints of backstory and the broader universe give it ample depth to make a great series.
