Why Listen to This Audiobook?

The author narrates his own cynical thief while Reynolds voices everyone else — and somehow that shouldn't work as well as it does.

  • Great if you want: buddy-duo fantasy with a fog-drenched noir mystery
  • Listening experience: brisk and atmospheric — the city of Rochelle pulls you in
  • Narration: Sullivan's lived-in Royce contrasts perfectly with Reynolds' theatrical range
  • Skip if: you're new to Riyria — character payoff requires prior context

About This Audiobook

When a wealthy baron's daughter vanishes in the enigmatic city of Rochelle, master thieves Royce and Hadrian find themselves drawn into a web of ancient secrets and deadly politics. The cynical assassin and his idealistic partner must navigate the treacherous nobility of this mysterious old-world metropolis, where imperial bloodlines and forgotten legends cast long shadows over fog-shrouded streets. What begins as a straightforward rescue mission quickly transforms into something far more complex and dangerous than either rogue anticipated.

Author Michael J. Sullivan joins veteran narrator Tim Gerard Reynolds to deliver a compelling dual performance that brings the contrasting personalities of Royce and Hadrian to vivid life. Sullivan's intimate knowledge of his characters shines through in every scene, while Reynolds' masterful pacing builds tension through the story's intricate revelations. Their seamless collaboration creates distinct voices for Rochelle's diverse cast, from scheming aristocrats to street-wise locals. The atmospheric setting of this fantasy mystery translates beautifully to audio, with the narrators capturing both the city's brooding ambiance and the sharp wit that defines the Riyria Chronicles.
