The adventure continues as Royce and Hadrian aid the struggling kingdom of Melengar as it alone stands in defiance against the newly formed empire. War approaches and a desperate gamble behind enemy lines is their only chance at forming an alliance with the Nationalists to the south. But Royce has plans of his own as he uses this opportunity to discover if an ancient wizard is using Riyria as pawns in his own bid for power. To find the truth, Royce must unravel Hadrian's hidden past. What he discovers will lead them to the end of the known world, on a journey rife with treachery and intrigue. When author Michael J. Sullivan self-published the first books of his Riyria Revelations, they rapidly became ebook bestsellers. Now, Orbit is pleased to present the complete series for the first time in bookstores everywhere. Rise of Empire was originally published as: Nyphron Rising and The Emerald Storm.

- Uhhh what happened in this book, I don't remember much.
- Me liking Arista a lot!
- Royce and Hadrian imprisoned in a well and bickering
A wonderful sequel to first book. The style remains the same and the relationship between the two lead protagonists continues to intrigue. If the writing style of ‘Theft of Swords' did not fit your fancy, then it won't in this book either. But I highly recommend this book if you enjoyed the first installment of the series.
More of the same, but somehow worse, at the same time? I mean that the quality is the same, but the flatness is more annoying this time. Still so much explaining.
