Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish.
Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.
All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through…
I've been looking for "cozy" fantasy reads - ever since I read Legends and Lattes last year. I found this to be the right blend of interesting characters, humor, and a low-stakes fun read.
Too many times fantasy books are too serious and dire. I've really enjoyed a number of satiric takes on the genre and not since Terry Pratchette have I been so entertained by the humor that was found in J. Zachary Pike's books - starting with Orconomics. I'm so glad the trilogy is complete and I'm looking forward to Dragonfired in 2025 - after a re-read starting with book #1.
He planned to obliterate an entire city. He thought no one could stand in his way. But he hadn’t heard of Riyria.
When a master craftsman dwarf is fired and threatens retaliation, the rogues- for-hire enterprise known as Riyria is commissioned to stop him. Traveling to the paradise resort of Tur Del Fur, the two are granted a lavish allowance that, along with an easy task, promises to turn a job into a vacation. Everything would have been perfect except that the disgruntled worker’s last name is Berling, and the targets of his wrath are the legendary towers of Drumindor.
Welcome to the fifth installment of The Riyria Chronicles, from Michael J. Sullivan, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. This is the eleventh book starring the cynical ex-assassin Royce Melborn and the idealistic ex-mercenary Hadrian Blackwater. While part of a much larger tale, this novel is written such that you can enjoy it even if you’ve not read any of the other books in the series. But for those who are fans of the pair, it’s been over six years since we last saw them, and we’re hoping you’ll be pleased to be reunited. Either way, we hope you enjoy this adventure!
