About this listen

Theft of Swords contains The Crown Conspiracy and Avempartha, books 1 and 2 of Riyria Revelations. The Crown Conspiracy is the first book in the captivating Riyria Revelations.

They killed the king. They pinned it on two men. They chose poorly.

There is no ancient evil to defeat, no orphan destined for greatness, just two guys in the wrong place at the wrong time. Royce Melborn, a skilled thief, and his mercenary partner, Hadrian Blackwater, make a profitable living carrying out dangerous assignments for conspiring nobles until they become the unwitting scapegoats in a plot to murder the king. Sentenced to death, they have only one way out...and so begins this tale of treachery and adventure, sword fighting and magic, myth and legend. Avempartha is the second of a six book series entitled the Riyria Revelations.

The secret is in the tower. The problem is the beast. The answer is two thieves.

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.

An interesting and engaging way to listen to a great book

Fantastic series - one of my all time favourites. I was unsure how I would feel about this format. At first it was a bit distracting, hearing all the sound effects. After a few chapters I became absorbed and I found it complimented my imagination - I always find listening is like a movie in my mind, but in this format the movie has different actors and sound effects. The narrator’s cadence, tone and accent is a bit distracting. An UK accent for the actors and US accent for the narrator is a bit jarring. Overall worth listening to.

Poor production makes it hard to hear a great story

They were too many times when the background sound effects overwhelmed the voice of the narrator, and when some of the voices were so faint compared to the narrator that you could barely hear them resulting in an uneven listening experience
