The Rose and the Thorn by Michael J. Sullivan

Welcome to the second book in The Riyria Chronicles. I've received many emails and seen forum posts from people asking, 'When is the third book in The Riyria Chronicles being released?' I guess trilogies are so common in fantasy that many assume this was one of them, but this series was written as a duology (with the potential to be expanded) and both books were released in 2013. Heir of Novron (Riyria Revelations #5 & #6): contains Wintertide & Percepliquis.Rise of Empire (Riyria Revelations #3 & #4): contains Nyphron Rising & The Emerald Storm.Theft of Swords (Riyria Revelations #1 & #2): contains The Crown Conspiracy & Avempartha.The Rose and the Thorn (Riyria Chronicles #2).What she doesn't realize is what the two are capable of - but she's about to find out.

By turning the thieves away, Gwen hopes to once more protect them. The victim of abuse by a powerful noble, she suspects that Royce will ignore any danger in his desire for revenge. Unable to get her out of his mind, Royce returns to Medford with Hadrian but the two receive a very different reception - Gwen refuses to see them. Riyria is born.įor more than a year Royce Melborn has tried to forget Gwen DeLancy, the woman who saved him and his partner Hadrian Blackwater from certain death.
