20 books in series

Riyria

Riyria is a 20-book series with 20 primary works first released in 2008 with contributions by Michael J. Sullivan.

The complete series of Riyria books in publication order (as recommended by the author). Reading Order Because I have so many books, people often ask me what order they should read them in. Personally, I prefer order of publication, as that was how I meant you to exposed to the story, and if you choose to take my advice the reading order would be: Revelations (1 - 6): Theft of Swords | Rise of Empire | Heir of Novron Chronicles (1 - 2): The Crown Tower | The Rose and the Thorn Legends (1 - 3): Age of Myth | Age of Swords | Age of War Chronicles (3 - 4): Death of Dulgath | Disappearance of Winter's Daughter Legends (4 - 6): Age of Legend | Age of Death | Age of Empyre Rise and Fall (1 - 3): Nolyn | Farilane | Esrahaddon Chronicles 5: Drumindor For those who insist on reading the books chronologically, then the reading order would be: Legends (1 - 6): Age of Myth | Age of Swords | Age of War | ge of Legend | Age of Death | Age of Empyre Rise and Fall (1 - 3): Nolyn | Farilane | Esrahaddon Chronicles (1 - 5): The Crown Tower | The Rose and the Thorn | Death of Dulgath | Disappearance of Winter's Daughter | Drumindor Revelations (1 - 6): Theft of Swords | Rise of Empire | Heir of Novron You may be wondering why Revelations is indicated as six books, but there are only three titles listed, that's because when Orbit republished the formerly indie novels they created three, two-book omnibus editions so they break down as follows: Theft of Swords: The Crown Conspiracy | Avempartha Rise of Empire: Nyphron Rising | The Emerald Storm Heir of Novron: Wintertide | Percepliquis Series Timelines All of the fantasy books take place in my fictional world called Elan but at different historical times. Riyria Revelations - furthest forward in the timeline Riyria Chronicles - a prequel to Revelations that starts 9 years before Revelations Legends of the First Empire - 3,000 years before Revelations The Rise and Fall - 1,000 - 2,000 years before Revelations.
