Story
Michael J. Sullivan garnered critical raves and a massive readership for his Riyria Revelations series. The first book in his highly anticipated Riyria Chronicles series of prequels, The Crown Tower brings together warrior Hadrian Blackwater with thieving assassin Royce Melborn. The two form a less-than-friendly pairing, but the quest before them has a rare prize indeed, and if they can breach the supposedly impregnable walls of the Crown Tower, their names will be legend.

Pure Perfection

Editorial reviews
Editors Select, December 2017
This was the first Michael J. Sullivan book I've ever experienced. That fact might aggravate some of his more dedicated fans, seeing as it's the fourth book in the series ("you have to start at the beginning!"). But I heard that it could be enjoyed as a stand-alone work, and that it definitely can, because I was obsessed immediately. Sullivan's characters really take on a life of their own, especially with Tim Gerard Reynolds giving them such a dynamic performance. Sullivan's sense of pacing is akin to a thriller writer's; each chapter is succinct and compelling, with frequent cliff-hangers that make it impossible to stop listening. Most crucial, perhaps, is the quality and subtle detail of Sullivan's world building - and his synergy with Reynolds - making it easy to dive headlong into this book. —Michael, Audible Editor
Publisher's Summary
"The pairing of Reynolds's narration with Sullivan's multilayered storytelling is outstanding." — AudioFile Magazine
A daughter vanishes. Two rogues are paid a fortune to find her. It isn't enough.
When Gabriel Winter's daughter mysteriously disappears and is presumed dead, the wealthy whiskey baron seeks revenge. Having lived in Colnora during the infamous Year of Fear, he hires the one man he knows can deliver a bloody retribution — the notorious Duster.
Ride with Royce and Hadrian as the cynical ex-assassin and idealistic ex-mercenary travel to a mysterious old-world city filled with nobles claiming descent from imperial aristocracy. Riyria's job appears easy: discover what happened to the missing duchess and, if she lives, bring her home...if not, punish those responsible. But nothing is simple in the crowded, narrow, mist-filled streets of Rochelle, where more than one ancient legend lurks.
Critic Reviews
"Fans will rejoice in Tim Gerard Reynolds's return to narrate the latest adult fantasy featuring professional thieves Hadrian and Royce. The pairing of Reynolds's narration with Sullivan's multilayered storytelling is outstanding. Reynolds's sense of the heroes' personalities makes the bantering dialogue a joy to hear and enhances the tale's humor and emotional depths." (AudioFile)

Well crafted tales with significant twists
As with all Michael’s work, I loved the reference to old, yet significance with the current story.
Riveting from the start to finish.

simply amazing
better then the death of dulgrath, which i found the story to be quite boring at some points.
but this definitely is a home run, the story and mystery is that you'd expect of ryira.
i cant think of anything that would improve this book

Among the best of all Riyria books
Royce and Hadrian at their best, with a the best supporting cast of the Chronicles series. Some subtle Easter eggs for readers of the Revelations series, too

Fantastic! :D
The 4th installment of the Riyeria Chronicles was hard to put down. I couldn't stop listening?!! I absolutely loved it, if not more than the first 3.
Michael J. Sullivan is just so brilliant at intertwining plots & characters together within this book & over the whole series thus far. With the Riyeria Revelations to follow, the Chronicles continually & undisputably pave a solid path towards this final saga.
Tim Gerard Reynolds, once again, outdoes himself with the characters he portrays in this series. This is especially true to the voices he lends to Hadrian & Royce. :) The chemistry & bond that's building between the two is so believable & disarming. It's almost like you're akin to a fly on the wall rather than being read to.
Thanks so much for this pleasurable read. I'm looking forward to & hoping for book 5 to come. ;)
Highly recommend this book as a stand alone &/or the full series to anyone out there!!

Oh so this is how they befriend a Duchess!
A wealthy whiskey baron seeks revenge after the loss of his daughter. But is she lost? Royce and Hadrian are called upon due to Royce's reputation as Duster. Riyria at its best with a great story, characters, humour, and supernatural or magical elements (gosh, they are up against a bit of an unstoppable villain) - and got to love our Duke and Duchess!! Now we know why they owe our heroes in Revelations! Love these 'fill in the gaps' books!
