Melengar settles in under the new king. This is the end of The Crown Conspiracy but only the beginning of The Riyria Revelations.

The Prince comes home to Melengar and faces a ring of steel around the city, while Royce and Hadrian race against time to interceed before a morning's execution.

The Archduke begins the trial and Royce finds a spider in the stonework.

Alric seeks support from his father's staunchest supporter and takes refuge at Drondil Fields to prepare for war.

 The identity of who is responsible for the death of King Amrath is revealed. The question is what to do about it.

The party discovers the secret beneath the mountain and Alric finally questions Esrahaddon. They soon learn getting into the prison might have been easier than getting out again.

Royce and Hadrian continue their journey to Gutaria Prison and a meeting with the mysterious Esrahaddon. Finding the prison is one thing. Getting in is quite another.

Royce and Hadrian escape the dungeons of Essendon Castle and take an unusual cargo on their way out of the city.
