Publisher Description

Two thieves want answers. Riyria is born. For 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. Unable to get her out of his mind, the two thieves return to Medford but receive a very different reception -- Gwen refuses to see them. The victim of abuse by a powerful noble, she suspects that Royce will ignore any danger in his desire for revenge. By turning the thieves away, Gwen hopes to once more protect them. What she doesn't realize is what the two are capable of -- she's about to find out.

"Michael J. Sullivan and Tim Gerard Reynolds hook up again to continue the Riyria Chronicles. This is the second book. Make sure that you listen to this books in order as the characters are developed in the Crown Tower and the story builds upon themselves. If you are reading this review let me give you a hint on something. There are two ways to listen to this saga. One way is to listen to the Riyria Revelations (three books) or the Riyria Chronicals which is a prequel to the Revelations. I didn't know that until after I listened to the Revelations. Not sure it would have mattered though as I believe that listening to the Revelations first is the way to go. "

    " Compares very favorably with the Lord of the Ring series. "
