Hadrian goes along, expecting, in his cheerfully optimistic way, to find the woman alive. He knows “Duster” is capable of devastating a city he’s done it before. If that’s the case, he wants revenge, bloody revenge. The grieving father suspects the duke wed her for her dowry then had her killed.
She has disappeared and is believed dead. Now I’m hooked all over again.Ī wealthy whiskey baron from a city once terrorized by Royce (in his early life, when he went by the name “Duster”) hires him to find out what happened to his daughter, Genni, who married a duke from the city of Rochelle. After the third, The Death of Dulgath, it seemed the series went on hold and, though I mourned, I eventually moved on.įortunately, I stumbled on this fourth book and quickly purchased it. So, when I finished the trilogy, I was thrilled by the release of prequels, The Riyria Chronicles, which filled in the backstory of how the two met and began their journey together. The wisecracking friendship between the two is what makes the books addictive. The books are fast-paced, excitement-packed, and delightfully funny. The unstoppable pair save the world piece by piece, one adventure at a time. Many years ago, I discovered the superb high fantasy trilogy, The Riyria Revelations, starring the entertaining duo Royce Melborn (assassin) and Hadrian Blackwater (mercenary) who have teamed up as thieves for hire. Sullivan wrote a fourth book in the The Riyria Chronicles that I somehow missed: The Disappearance of Winter’s Daughter.
