About this listen

Audie Award Nominee, Fantasy, 2013

Acclaimed author Michael J. Sullivan created instant best sellers with his spellbinding Riyria Revelations series. This first volume introduces Royce Melborn and Hadrian Blackwater, two enterprising thieves who end up running for their lives when they’re framed for the death of the king. Trapped in a conspiracy bigger than they can imagine, their only hope is unraveling an ancient mystery - before it’s too late.

Theft of Swords contains The Crown Conspiracy and Avempartha, books 1 and 2 of Riyria Revelations.

I'm fussy about my audiobooks but I'm glad I took a chance on Theft of Swords. I like the two protagonists, and their different personalities and tones. The hints of backstory and the broader universe give it ample depth to make a great series.

A Lucky Find

Epic fantasy adventure following very interesting characters. Voice acting is very good. If you’re looking for something that’s NOT dark and depressing, then this is for you.

Entertaining

There are books that you want to read again: a select few that satisfy a need for drama, escape, humour, character development, plot and intelligence. This is absolutely one series that I will read multiple times. Royce and Hadrian are both characters that you are left wanting more of, and the unfolding of both character and sits perfectly between frantic page-turner and delightfully comfortable read.

An all time favourite
