Hi, is 'Theft of Swords' a combination of both 'The Crown Conspiracy' and 'Avempartha'?
Michael J. Sullivan
Hey Krista, it is indeed! I know it can be confusing at times. Let's see if this helps.
Originally the Riyria Revelations was written as six individual books, the first five of which were self-published as standalone novels:
* The Crown Conspiracy
* Avempartha
* Nyphron Rising
* The Emerald Storm
* Wintertide
* Percepliquis
Just before the release of Percepliquis, Orbit (the fantasy imprint of big-five publisher Hachette Book Group) bought the rights to the series. And when they re-released it, they put the series out as three, 2-book omnibus editions:
* Theft of Swords
* Rise of Empire
* Heir of Novron
The original books are now out of print - so it's pretty hard to find copies of the original Crown Conspiracy and Avempartha as standalone because Theft of Swords replaces those two books. It's great for readers. They can get two books for the price of one in the new Orbit releases.
Thanks again for asking.

Hi, again I'm sorry to keep asking you questions, but it really does enhance my reading experience. I have been wondering if the people in your world speak with a British accent of some sort? I can't adequately picture their voices like I wish I could. This information would help me a lot thank you so much!

I know I have asked this before but cannot find it - I just saw Age of Empyre is available to pre-order on Audible.com - does it in any way diminish your chance at hitting best-seller lists if I pre order it? Is it better to wait until first week of release? Sorry for repeat question but I have memory issues yet a zeal to proselytize your sales :)
