Publisher's Summary

"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.

What the critics say

"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)

Great story

This is the first of this author's books I have listened to/read, but even though it was fourth in a series, I was able to enjoy it just fine. It's like a mystery or crime-solving series in the sense that there is obviously a larger arc that is happening around the edges, but the story in this book is completely self-contained. The characters and world-building were wonderful. The author has a knack for creating fully-drawn characters with flaws you don't typically see and to make them funny. The only reason I took off a star is because there were some habits with the writing that I found distracting and distancing which I wish the author would have avoided, especially in high tension moments. However, I would gladly read more by this author. Recommended.

Another nice addition to Rihirya adventures!

It was nice to hear about another Adventure of Royce and Hadrian.
I liked the development and ending but felt like it was a bit slower to develop and get some action then other books of those series. Maybe because previous one had that continuous tension about a « secret Artist ».

narration carried this story

i think we have a case similar to Terry Goodkind, a author that keeps writing about the same character because he found success with them at some point. the original Riyria series were truly the best, all these prequel do do it justice and don't need to be read. i feel he would have more success want to continue with the universal he built and either move the series centuries in to the future or past. in the end i would not recommend this.

fantastic stand alone

story was compelling and fun to listen to. While the narrator is wonderful, the sound team needs to work on splicing the audio together or making sure all the takes are the same quality. some of the transitions are jarring and frankly the low quality takes are just annoying to listen to.
