Synopsis

Heir of Novron is the concluding omnibus of Michael J. Sullivan's The Riyria Revelations, the six-book epic fantasy series that Orbit released as three two-book volumes. It gathers Wintertide and Percepliquis, the fifth and sixth novels, delivering the climactic payoff to the adventures of the thief Royce Melborn and the swordsman Hadrian Blackwater.

Where earlier volumes balanced heist capers and court intrigue, this finale widens into full epic scope: imperial conspiracy, ancient prophecy, and a descent into the ruined heart of the old world. The mystery of the Heir of Novron, teased throughout the series, moves to center stage as the fate of nations and the true history of Elan come due.

Praised for tightly plotted storytelling, warm characterization, and satisfying resolution, Heir of Novron is a cornerstone of modern traditional fantasy and the essential capstone for the Riyria Revelations.
