Summary

Rise of Empire contains Nyphron Rising and The Emerald Storm, books 3 and 4 of Riyria Revelations.  

A puppet is crowned. The true heir remains hidden. A rogue's secret could change everything.

War has come to Melengar. To save her kingdom, Princess Arista runs a desperate gamble when she defies her brother and hires Royce and Hadrian for a dangerous mission. As the power of the Nyphron Empire grows, so does Royce's suspicion that the wizard Esrahaddon is using the thieves as pawns in his own game. To find the truth, he must unravel the secret of Hadrian's past - what he discovers may end their friendship and break Riyria in two.  

A message is intercepted. A sinister plan launched. Two thieves stand in the way.

Ex-mercenary Hadrian Blackwater sets course on a high seas adventure to find the lost Heir of Novron. His only hope lies in confronting the ruthless and cunning Merrick Marius. Fearing his friend is not up to the challenge, Royce Melborn joins his old partner for one last mission. Their journey finds them adrift amid treachery and betrayals forcing Hadrian to face a past he hoped never to see again.

Brilliant book and great adaptation

Great story. The genre seems to have got much darker, with very flawed heroes and horrific villains. However this series has a more lighter element to it (reminds me of Raymond E Feist ), with likeable heroes (who still have some flaws), fast paced action, twists and turns and some nice humour.

The performance of the cast is very good (even though it took me a little while to get used to) and makes the book so immersive.

Bought this by mistake

And it wasnt as bad as I feared. I do prefer one reader though. But my main issue with this dramatization is the commercial sequences in between books! I already bought the book, I dont want to know what it is 6 times during the reading...
