Royce Melborn, a cynical ex-assassin, and Hadrian Blackwater, an idealistic ex-mercenary, form the rogues-for-hire duo known as Riyria. Together, they make a profitable living by carrying out dangerous assignments for conspiring nobles. What initially seems like a simple job to steal a sword leads to them being framed for the king’s murder and trapped in a conspiracy that uncovers a plot far greater than the mere overthrow of a small kingdom. Throughout the series, mysteries build, characters deepen, and plots thicken, culminating in an ending heralded as one of the best conclusions in fantasy history. The Riyria Revelations is an epic tale of treachery and adventure, myth and legend, sword fighting, and magic. It is filled with witty banter, humor, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship. Since its publication in 2007, this series has been read by hundreds of thousands of people. In addition to being available for free on Royal Road, it is also published as eBooks, audiobooks, and trade paperback print editions. It's made available by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Michael J. Sullivan. Once fully posted, it will consist of six books (which are sold as three, two-book omnibus editions) and totaling 694,000 words.  The release schedule will be one chapter each "even day" of the month starting in January 2025.
