Three times they tried to kill her. Then a professional was hired. So was Riyria.
When the last member of the oldest noble family in Avryn is targeted for assassination, Riyria is hired to foil the plot. Three years have passed since the war-weary mercenary Hadrian and the cynical ex-assassin Royce joined forces to start life as rogues-for-hire. Things have gone well enough until they're asked to help prevent a murder. Now they must venture into an ancient corner of the world to save a mysterious woman who knows more about Royce than is safe and cares less about herself than is sane.
From the best-selling author of The Riyria Revelations comes the third installment of The Riyria Chronicles. Although part of a series, it's designed to thrill both new readers looking for fun, fast-paced fantasy and Riyria veterans wishing to reunite with old friends. For those who do wish to experience the entire Riyria saga, two reading options exist
Order of Publication Theft of Swords | Rise of Empire | Heir of Novron | The Crown Tower | The Rose and the Thorn | The Death of Dulgath
Chronological Order The Crown Tower | The Rose and the Thorn | The Death of Dulgath | Theft of Swords | Rise of Empire | Heir of Novron
PRAISE FOR MICHAEL'S RIYRIA BOOKS
“This epic fantasy showcases the arrival of a master storyteller.” — Library Journal on Theft of Swords
“A delightful, entertaining and page-turning read that reminds us just how enjoyable, and how good The Riyria Revelations series is. A must-buy for all fantasy lovers.” — The Founding Fields on Rise of Empire
“Heir of Novron is the conclusion to the Riyria Revelations, cementing it in a position as a new classic of modern fantasy traditional in setting, but extremely unconventional in, well, everything else.” — Drying Ink on Heir of Novron
“Snappy banter, desperate stakes, pulse-pounding swordplay, and good old-fashioned heroics are all on full display here.” — 52 Book Reviews on The Crown Tower

The Death of Dulgath The Riyria Chronicles Book 3 eBook Michael J Sullivan
Riyria is back! And just as fun, action packed, and intriguing as ever. Seriously, I love the humor with the witty banter between the two main guys. The action scenes are detailed enough to feel like you are watching it, but not so much you forget why they are fighting. And there are plenty of twists and turns in the plot to make you wonder what is going to happen next.I would love to point out many of the other things I thoroughly enjoyed, but that would include spoilers. So the few things I can mention include my liking of Gwen taking more of a back seat in this story. Don't get me wrong, I think she is an amazing strong character and I really do love her. But she kind of also had that way of stealing the spotlight. Which after the past two books of that, I wanted to read more about the guys. Another thing I liked is how well this story can fit in with the previous books or as a stand alone. Subtle hints towards the other books for veteran fans that won't leave newbies scratching their heads in clueless frustration.
This book did not disappoint expectations and I am sad to say another good bye to Royce and Hadrian. I love this book!

The Death of Dulgath The Riyria Chronicles Book 3 eBook Michael J Sullivan Reviews
Funny, suspenseful & action packed. If you're a fan of Riyria you won't be disappointed. If you're not a fan you should probably start with either The Crown Tower ( chronological order) or Theft of Sword ( publication order) ...EITHER WAY YOU TRY THEM OUT!! The author is a wizard at storytelling!! This is the best series I've ever read. My favorite by far!!
How can I love Royce and Hadrian anymore? I can’t. I just can’t! I could read their stories forever. And ever. And never be bored.
Much like the other books in Sullivan’s Chronicles series, this follows Royce and Hadrian on one of their adventures. But what I loved even more about this book than the others is the banter between Royce and Hadrian. Now, it’s been a while since I read the other books, but it felt much more dialog focused, honed in on Royce and Hadrian’s give and take relationship. The two just clicked beautifully, in my opinion, which has made it my second favorite Sullivan book that I’ve read to date. I never wanted it to end. It made me ache to pick up the Revelations and Chronicles series again, and I admit to reading some of my favorite parts after I finished Death of Dulgath. I didn’t realize how much I missed the boys. Such a great dynamic between them.
I have a feeling this books ties into Sullivan’s new Legends of the First Empire series, which is set in the same world eons before Royce and Hadrian come to be. Eventually I’ll be finding out if I’m right or not. I don’t have much else to talk about. The plot is well laid out in the book description, and more than likely you’ve already read the other books if you’re considering this one. However, if you’ve never picked up a Sullivan book, you must. You absolutely must. If you’ve picked up the Revelations series and remotely liked it, then you really need to read the Chronicles. If you’re a diehard fan like I am, this book won’t disappoint.
Overall, I can’t rave about Sullivan enough and what a wonderful character he’s created in Royce. Matter of fact, Royce has risen to the top of my favorite characters of all time. He’s tied for first place with Raistlin Majere, which is a character I’ve been in love with since I was young. A few more books might even win Royce a sole position as number one. Hopefully Sullivan continues with the Chronicles and keeps Royce and Hadrian as the main focus of those books. That’s what made this one and The Crown Tower my two favorite books of all time.
I’m going to say again just how impressed I am with these Prequels. I usually hate prequels, they don’t normally do a lot for the characters or the main body of stories that I really like. But that isn’t the case here. Sure it is a prequel but whether you already read the Riyria Chronicles or you just started with these I think nothing is diminished if anything it makes me think that the Riyria Chronicles are even better.
First, I loved this story. It was interesting, full of action and suspense and a bit of a mystery as well. Someone is trying to kill the Lady Dulgath and Royce and Hadrian are supposed to plot how someone could do it so that the Sheriff can protect her. What could possibly go wrong???
Second, I always like Hadrian and Royce together they are so different and yet they compliment each other so well. Hadrian the ever trusting swordsman that doesn’t want to kill anymore and Royce the cynical, untrusting ‘I’d rather kill you than have to deal with you again later’ make the perfect odd coupling.
*** “Churches don’t kill people,” Hadrian told her. “They burn incense, collect tithes, and mutter words in forgotten languages—they don’t put out contracts on high-ranking nobles.”
Scarlett and Royce exchanged glances, then both shook their heads.
Royce hooked a thumb in Hadrian’s direction. “See what I have to put up with?”
“Adorable,” Scarlett said. ***
Third, there is the Lady Dulgath herself. I tried most of the book to figure out what she was and I never figured it out. I love it when that happens. Especially when later when you do know it makes complete sense and is great. Her interactions with Royce were really good and I liked the way she played with him and made him uncomfortable.
*** “I wonder who your parents are,” she said, leaving Royce baffled.
“What?”
“Your parents—who are they?”
“Hatred and disillusionment, how about you?”
She smiled at him, the same unperturbed grin, as if he were great fun.
“You know,” Royce said, “most young ladies would be terrified to find someone like me in their room.”
“You know, most men would be terrified to be caught uninvited in the bedroom of a countess, but then…” She took a slow step forward. “You’re not a man, are you?” ***
Fourth, you are never quite sure who is on who’s side until the last minute…and even then it isn’t always absolutely clear.
Fifth, is the in the background romance. I love fantasy but I have a shippy heart and I need a couple to root for and be excited about to really love a fantasy book. It doesn’t have to overtake the story I just like it to be a thought or footnote. Even though this is so far from the meat of the story Royce actually says a few of the sweetest things about Gwen. They are few and far between but I love every world of his thoughts on Gwen.
*** He’d would never admit it, not to Hadrian, and certainly not to Gwen—didn’t even like thinking it to himself—but somehow Gwen had become his fifth thing. To survive, Royce had only ever required four things air, food, water, and sleep. He was less bothered by heat and cold than others and could live in a forest or field if need be. But those other four things were absolutes.
Reluctantly, he had discovered Gwen had become the fifth. He could last longer without her than any of the others, but if too much time past, he felt the effects. Sick wasn’t the right word; empty was closer, but even it didn’t fit. Thin. He nodded to himself at the thought. That was it. He felt translucent, as if less of him existed when she wasn’t there.
I just never noticed how little of me existed before; I was a shadow without a person.
He didn’t know when it had happened or how he’d let it happen, but somehow when he was without her he felt less than whole. Gwen had stolen part of him and—No, she hasn’t taken anything. She’s given me something I’ve never had, and now I can’t live without it. ***
And with that I just swooned for Royce.
I think this is the best of all the Prequels and so I really look forward to reading more with Hadrian and Royce if MJS has more stories of them in his head.
Just a little note having nothing to do with the book really I want to say how impressed I am with Michael J Sullivan. Not only as a writer but just as a person in general. He is an author that I think uses goodreads to it’s fullest potential. He has commented on a few of my status updates for his books and reviews. Also he was kind enough to answer a PM I sent him and is my friend on Goodreads. I think he is really in touch with his readers and makes a lot of time for them. I know he became one of my favorite authors when I read the dedication he made to his wife in Heir of Novron
*** This book is entirely dedicated to my wife, Robin Sullivan.
Some have asked how it is I write such strong women without resorting to putting swords in their hands. It is because of her.
She is Arista
She is Thrace
She is Modina
She is Amilia
And she is my Gwen.
This series has been a tribute to her.
This is your book, Robin. ****
Michael J Sullivan is an author that I will happily recommend to anyone who is a fantasy lover.
