THE CROWN TOWER

Michael J. Sullivan

Volume One of the Riyria Chronicles

Two men who hate each other. One impossible mission. A legend in the making.

Hadrian Blackwater, a warrior with nothing to fight for is paired with Royce Melborn, a thieving assassin with nothing to lose. Together they must steal a treasure that no one can reach. The Crown Tower is the impregnable remains of the grandest fortress ever built and home to the realm's most prized possessions. But it isn't gold or jewels that the old wizard is after, and if he can keep them from killing each other they become a legendary team.

This is the first book in the new series, The Riyria Chronicles, from best-selling author Michael J. Sullivan. It takes place twelve years before the events of The Riyria Revelations and no prior knowledge of those books is required. You can read in either chronological order or order of publication, although the author suggests reading in publication order.

In May 2011, io9 named Michael to their Most Successful Self-Published Sci-Fi and Fantasy Authors List. In October 2012 Michael re-sold the rights to his Riyria Revelations to Orbit (fantasy imprint of big-five Hachette Book Group). In 2013 Orbit released his second series, The Riyria Chronicles. As of late 2013, English language sales of the Riyria novels have exceeded 450,000 copies. The series has also been signed to fifteen foreign language translations. Today, Michael continues to fill blank pages and is working on his third series tentatively titled The First Empire. His first science fiction novel, Hollow World will be published in April 2014.
