The two final stories featured are, Wintertide and Percepliquis and this volume is where all the threads are skilfully brought together, where twists appear at every turn, where our characters truly discover what they are capable of.Īfter following Hadrian, Royce, Arista, Alric, Myron and Empress Modina through many trials and tribulations in the previous instalments our heart strings are truly pulled as Sullivan now tests these characters to their absolute limit. Heir of Novron by Michael J Sullivan is a heart pounding conclusion to the Riyria Revelations. Yet there are those who live in the shadows who still fight, there are two thieves who refuse to give up. The opposition have been defeated, kingdoms have fallen and hope is dwindling. Degan Gaunt, leader of the Nationalist’s rebels will be executed, alongside the Witch of Melengar. At the approach of Wintertide, Empress Modina will marry King Elthelred, the Church’s puppet, and afterwards meet her tragic end. The Nyphron Church thinks they’ve won, they believe victory is at hand and the world of Elan will be ruled by their tyrannical design. Heroes don’t ride white horses, and the good don’t always win.” There may also be minor spoilers for Heir of Novron as I discuss the plot. This review will contain spoilers for the previous books in this series, Theft of Swords and Rise of Empire.
