Here, Hadrian Blackwater is a young man, still holding onto his youthful naivety yet having seen and done bloody deeds that even he refuses to recall. Naturally, our story takes place before the events of The Theft of Swords, which is the first set of books set in the world of Riyria. Indeed, Hadrian, Royce and Gwen grabbed the readers attention from the first, drawing them along involuntarily in the turbulence of their story as all three are inevitably drawn together. The tale he pens is one of those very rare prequels: a stand alone story which – while tipping its hat so subtly to the older novels – never fails to understand it is a story unto itself. Sullivan sets out to tell in The Crown Tower, and he accomplishes it with a flair long time readers have come to expect from him. No matter their differences, however, these two characters are the most dedicated of partners and friends.īut how could they have ever gotten past these issues to form a partnership called Riyria? Two partners who are polar opposites in their personality, outlook on life as well as in their fighting styles. For all of you familiar with The Riyria Revelations series, Hadrian Blackwater and Royce Melborn are the dynamic duo of fantasy: Hadrian the great warrior with three swords for any occasion and Royce the dark, mysterious assassin waiting to put a dagger in you.
