Synopsis

THEY KILLED THE KING. THEY PINNED IT ON TWO MEN. THEY CHOSE POORLY
There is no ancient evil to defeat, no orphan destined for greatness, just two guys in the wrong place at the wrong time. Royce Melborn, a skilled thief, and his mercenary partner, Hadrian Blackwater make a profitable living carrying out dangerous assignments for conspiring nobles until they become the unwitting scapegoats in a plot to murder the king. Sentenced to death, they have only one way out...and so begins this tale of treachery and adventure, sword fighting and magic, myth and legend.

ABOUT THE SERIES
The Crown Conspiracy is the first book in the captivating Riyria Revelations. Instead of a string of sequels this six-book fantasy series was conceived as a single epic tale divided into individual episodes. All were written before the first was released so that plot elements are intertwined, yet each book has its only story and conclusion.

Eschewing the recent trends in fantasy toward the lengthy, gritty, and dark, the Riyria Revelations brings the genre back to its roots. Avoiding unnecessarily complicated language and world building for its own sake; this series is a distillation of the best elements of traditional fantasy--great characters, a complex plot, humor, and drama all in appropriate measures.

Seriously disappointing on my re-read. Flat characters, bland writing, and a shallow world can't make up for the fun central plot. Full review coming soon.........more

I wanted to read this series and give Michael Sullivan a second chance not having liked the first two books of the legends of the first empire. The Crown Conspiracy was fun, however it lacked depth. The characters weren’t developed properly, we barely know anything about their character beyond the......more

"Asesinaron al rey. Buscaron a dos tipos para echarles la culpa. No eligieron bien.." Este libro no trata de un antiquísimo mal que debe ser destruido, de un pobre niño huérfano que llegará a ser el héroe que salve al mundo. Con su espada mágica y su marca de héroe cumpliendo así una profecía.. Esta e......more

*** 4.25 *** A buddy read with my friends at BB&B! You know how some authors feel like they are working on your wave-length​? Well, I think MJS is one of those for me. I love his storytelling style, natural and easy, never jumping into melodramatic nor falling to pedestrian. It is always just the way......more
