The Death of Dulgath cover

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 New York Times bestselling author of The Legends of the First Empire and The Rise and Fall comes the nineth installment of fast-paced fantasy adventure about his most popular rogues-for-hire known as Riyria.  Although part of a series, it's designed to thrill both new readers and Riyria veterans wishing to reunite with old friends. 


“Once again, I’m reminded of how much I LOVE Michael Sullivan’s snarky, irreverent writing. More than once, I found myself laughing out loud at some sarcastic/droll quip—most of the time spoken by Royce, but Hadrian gets in a few funny ones as well. Absolutely worth reading” – Andy Peloquin, author of the Darkblade series


“The reality is that Royce Melborn and Hadrian Blackwater are possibly two of my favorite fictional characters ever." -- Fantasy Book Review 


“I sound like a broken record, but I’m repetitively impressed by what Sullivan did with this series of standalone prequel novels to The Riyria Revelations. Imbued with the precise balance of danger, revelations, humor, friendship, loss, love, and hope, The Death of Dulgath is another engrossing feel-good fantasy novel. I honestly believe it deserves a spot in my list of favorite books.” – Novel Notions


“The reality is that Royce Melborn and Hadrian Blackwater are possibly two of my favourite fictional characters ever, right up there with Tiffany Aching and Sam Vimes, Faramir, and Whiskeyjack. When you go and include the wonderful world in which the two characters inhabit, and Sullivan’s Riyria books are some of my most beloved.” – Fantasy Book Review


“Yes, I absolutely loved The Death of Dulgath just like I loved all the others.  It’s just so hard for me not to.  The books are just so full of action, entertaining characters and fun that I just enjoy reading them and The Death of Dulgath is no exception. -- The Hobbleit
