The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter

By: Michael J. Sullivan

Narrated by: Michael J. Sullivan, Tim Gerard Reynolds

"The pairing of Reynolds's narration with Sullivan's multilayered storytelling is outstanding." — AudioFile Magazine

A daughter vanishes. Two rogues are paid a fortune to find her. It isn't enough.

When Gabriel Winter's daughter mysteriously disappears and is presumed dead, the wealthy whiskey baron seeks revenge. Having lived in Colnora during the infamous Year of Fear, he hires the one man he knows can deliver a bloody retribution — the notorious Duster.

Ride with Royce and Hadrian as the cynical ex-assassin and idealistic ex-mercenary travel to a mysterious old-world city filled with nobles claiming descent from imperial aristocracy. Riyria's job appears easy: discover what happened to the missing duchess and, if she lives, bring her home...if not, punish those responsible. But nothing is simple in the crowded, narrow, mist-filled streets of Rochelle, where more than one ancient legend lurks.

Critic reviews

"Fans will rejoice in Tim Gerard Reynolds's return to narrate the latest adult fantasy featuring professional thieves Hadrian and Royce. The pairing of Reynolds's narration with Sullivan's multilayered storytelling is outstanding. Reynolds's sense of the heroes' personalities makes the bantering dialogue a joy to hear and enhances the tale's humor and emotional depths." (AudioFile)

Adventure and Unicorns!

So great to see this latest adventure of Riyria! Royce and Hadrian are my favorite fantasy people! Thank you, Mr. Sullivan, (I enjoyed every page!)

Another hit

I love these guys! Can't wait till the next book. No matter what's going on they keep me smiling

Excellent as always!

Written with great warmth and great, insightful and sometimes very funny dialogue. The Riyria books keep getting better for each new one he writes, filling in the bigger story of Elan.

Yet Another Wonderful Adventure with Riyria

I was so excited when I read there was to be another story of Hadrian and Royce. I pre-ordered and was not disappointed. I have already read (listened) to all of the related stories TWICE. I’ll admit it, I’m addicted. And as usual, the narration is perfection.

More history, more character

Have you listened to any of Tim Gerard Reynolds and Michael J. Sullivan ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to all of Michael J. Sullivan's available prior work about the world where Riyria exists; Riyria Revelations, The Riyria Chronicles, and The Legends of the First Empire. I enjoyed this book primarily because it gives up even more detail about Royce and Hadrian's background and relationship, more tidbits about their past, more of Royce's mostly-internal debate about Hadrian, and some of the things that make them special. We're introduced to a new supernatural being, and Winter's Daughter. Both of them are interesting, and Winter's daughter is very likable and relatable.

My favorite is still Riyria Revelations, and all others are measured by how well they combined with or explain that story. This book isn't as compelling as any of the Revelations, but still very enjoyable and satisfying. (As other's have mentioned, I think I would be entertained by Tim Gerard Reynalds even if he read real estate contracts into the microphone.) Mr. Sullivan's books are still my favorite, and very few audio books, with the exception of the Bobiverse by Dennis E. Taylor, comes close.
