About this ebook

The New Empire intends to mark its victory over the Nationalists with a bloody celebration. On the high holiday of Wintertide, the Witch of Melengar will be burned and the Heir of Novron executed. On that same day the Empress faces a forced marriage, with a fatal accident soon follow. The New Empire is confident in the totality of its triumph but there's just one problem-Royce and Hadrian have finally found the true Heir of Novron -- -and they have their own holiday plans.

When author Michael J. Sullivan self-published the first books of his Riyria Revelations series online, they rapidly became ebook bestsellers. Now, Orbit is pleased to present the complete series for the first time in bookstores everywhere.


Heir of Novron is the final volume of The Riyria Revelations and includes Wintertide and -- available for the first time -- the final volume, Percepliquis.

Ratings and reviews

There were things about this trilogy that I did not like; but overall I really enjoyed it and would be very happy if my future fantasy reading brought me the same fun escape from reality as this one has. Thanks Mr. Sullivan!

Oh man, that ending, had me in tears not gonna lie and I'm a dude.. I called two of the mysteries in the book before they happened and I was pretty proud of that. It wasn't the ending I was hoping for but 'my ending' would of been a plot changer for it to work but it was definitely bitter sweet, that's for sure. Royce Melborn, like I said in the previous book's review, I've never read a book yet with a character like his and I just freakin' love him. I don't think I have it in me to read the prequels since I already know the ending's 'rewards' but oh well, this trilogy was great.

The ending was well worth the anticipation, the near impossibility of the story and the resolving of it in the more absolute and wonderful way. This series has been added to my top 5 series I've ever read
