Theft of Swords contains The Crown Conspiracy and Avempartha, books 1 and 2 of Riyria Revelations. The Crown Conspiracy is the first book in the captivating Riyria Revelations.

They killed the king. They pinned it on two men. They chose poorly.

There is no ancient evil to defeat, no orphan destined for greatness, just two guys in the wrong place at the wrong time. Royce Melborn, a skilled thief, and his mercenary partner, Hadrian Blackwater, make a profitable living carrying out dangerous assignments for conspiring nobles until they become the unwitting scapegoats in a plot to murder the king. Sentenced to death, they have only one way out...and so begins this tale of treachery and adventure, sword fighting and magic, myth and legend. Avempartha is the second of a six book series entitled the Riyria Revelations.

The secret is in the tower. The problem is the beast. The answer is two thieves.

When a destitute young woman hires Royce and Hadrian to help save her remote village from nocturnal attacks, they are once more drawn into the schemes of the wizard Esrahaddon. While Royce struggles to breech the secrets of an ancient elven tower, Hadrian attempts to rally the villagers to defend themselves against the unseen killer. Once more, what begins with the simple theft of a sword places the two thieves at the center of a firestorm - but this time the outcome could change the future of Elan.

Great “old school fantasy”!

The characters are what make this series. The more you learn about them the more you want to know about their past and discover their future.

fun all around

i thought it was great, the dramatized version is just cash money guys. totally worth your monthly credit.

Excellent!

Loved all the different voices. This is a story both my husband and I really got into. It was great to listen to while on long trips and around the fire. We loved it so much we listened to the first book twice and are now on to the third book (Heir of Nevron).

background is distracting

although I loved the narration, background sound effects were distracting and often sounded like static.

Great pick-me-up

Light, with great characters, good narration and lovely soundtrack. i also liked the twists and turns and humour
