THE CROWN TOWER

Michael J. Sullivan

Volume Two of the Riyria Chronicles

A dear friend is brutally beaten. Two thieves want answers. Riyria is born.

For more than a year Royce Melborn has tried to forget Gwen DeLancy, the woman who saved him and his partner Hadrian Blackwater from certain death. Unable to get her out of his mind, the two thieves return to Medford but receive a very different reception -- Gwen refuses to see them. The victim of abuse by a powerful noble, she suspects Royce will ignore any danger and seek revenge. By turning the thieves away, Gwen hopes to protect them once more. What she doesn't realize is what the two are capable of, but she's about to find out.

The Rose and the Thorn is the second book in The Riyria Chronicles, a prequel series featuring the early adventures of Royce Melborn and Hadrian Blackwater. Taking place twelve years before the events in Michael J. Sullivan's bestselling The Riyria Revelations, the books can be enjoyed either in order of publication or chronological order.

In May 2011, io9 named Michael to their Most Successful Self-Published Sci-Fi and Fantasy Authors List. In October 2012 Michael re-sold the rights to his Riyria Revelations to Orbit (fantasy imprint of big-five Hachette Book Group). In 2013 Orbit released his second series, The Riyria Chronicles. As of late 2013, English language sales of the Riyria novels have exceeded 450,000 copies. The series has also been signed to fifteen foreign language translations. Today, Michael continues to fill blank pages and is working on his third series tentatively titled The First Empire. His first science fiction novel, Hollow World will be published in April 2014.
