Band 2 der "Riyria-Chroniken": So wurde der legendäre Bund besiegelt. In Elan, einer Welt, in der Stallburschen sich in Prinzessinnen verlieben und sie gegen Unholde verteidigen, einer Welt, in der Bischöfe finstere politische Pläne schmieden, in der Diebe manchmal - aber nicht immer - für Recht und Ordnung sorgen, kämpft Gwen, die mutigste Frau weit und breit, um Gerechtigkeit für ihre Freundin, die in einem Bordell umgebracht wurde. Seit Gwen ihn und seinen Diebespartner Hadrian aus einer ausweglosen Situation gerettet hatte, ist Royce Melborn für Gwen entflammt.

Band 1 der "Riyria-Chroniken" von Bestsellerautor Michael J. Sullivan: Zwei Diebe auf aussichtsloser Mission. "Hadrian Blackwater hatte sich erst fünf Schritte vom Schiƒff entfernt, da wurde er ausgeraubt." Hadrian Blackwater, ein Krieger, der im Moment nichts hat, wofür er kämpfen könnte, begegnet Royce Melborn, einem Dieb und Mörder, der nichts zu verlieren hat. Beide werden von einem Zauberer angeheuert, um ein geheimnisvolles Buch zu stehlen. Es liegt in dem uneinnehmbaren Kronturm, der am besten geschützten Festung, die je errichtet wurde.

With Age of Myth, Age of Swords, and the New York Times best-selling Age of War, fantasy master Michael J. Sullivan riveted fans with a tale of unlikely heroes locked in a desperate battle to save humankind. After years of warfare, humanity has gained the upper hand and has pushed the Fhrey to the edge of their homeland, but no farther. Now comes the pivotal moment. Persephone’s plan to use the stalemate to seek peace is destroyed by an unexpected betrayal that threatens to hand victory to her enemy and leaves a loved one in peril.

Royce Melborn, a cynical ex-assassin, and Hadrian Blackwater, an idealistic ex-mercenary, are a pair of rogues-for-hire known as Riyria (its elvish for two). This duo makes a living taking nefarious jobs for conspiring nobles. Doing so usually involves stealing something, but when a young heiress asks them to steal her . . . well, that is a first for the pair.

Three years have passed since the war-weary mercenary Hadrian and the cynical ex-assassin Royce joined forces to start life as thieves for hire. Things have gone well enough until they receive the odd assignment to prevent a murder. Now they must venture into a forgotten corner of southern Avryn—a place whose history predates the empire. As usual, challenges abound as they try to anticipate the moves of an unknown assassin before it's too late.

The alliance of humans and renegade Fhrey is fragile—and about to be tested as never before. Persephone keeps the human clans from turning on one another through her iron will and a compassionate heart. The arrogant Fhrey are barely held in check by their leader, Nyphron, who seeks to advance his own nefarious agenda through a loveless marriage that will result in the betrayal of the person Persephone loves most: Raithe, the God Killer.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A thief, a candlemaker, an ex-mercenary, and a pig farmer walk into a trap…and what happens is no joke. When Riyria is hired to retrieve a jester’s treasure, Royce and Hadrian must match wits with a dwarf who proves to be anything but a fool. Difficult choices will need to be made, and in the end those who laugh last do so because they are the only ones to survive.

When a master-craftsmen dwarf is fired, he threatens retaliation. The rogues-for-hire known as Riyria are commissioned to find and stop him. Traveling to the paradise resort of Tur Del Fur, the two are granted a lavish allowance that, along with the easy job, promises to turn the trip into a vacation. Everything would have been perfect except that the disgruntled employee’s last name is Berling and the target of his wrath is the legendary towers of Drumindor.

In Age of Myth, fantasy master Michael J. Sullivan launched audiences on an epic journey of magic and adventure, heroism and betrayal, love and loss. Now the thrilling saga continues as the human uprising is threatened by powerful enemies from without—and bitter rivalries from within. Raithe, the God Killer, may have started the rebellion by killing a Fhrey, but long-standing enmities dividing the Rhunes make it all but impossible to unite against the common foe. And even if the clans can join forces, how will they defeat an enemy whose magical prowess renders them indistinguishable from gods?
