Wintertide
Michael J.
Sullivan |
|
A forced wedding. A double
execution. Two thieves have other plans.
|
|
The New
Empire intends to celebrate its victory over the
Nationalists with a day that will never be forgotten. On
the high holiday of Wintertide the empress will be
married. Degan Gaunt and the Witch of Melengar will be
publically executed. Then the empress will suffer a
fatal accident leaving the empire in the hands of the
new emperor. It will be a perfect day. There is only one
problem-Royce and Hadrian have finally found the lost
heir.
Wintertide is the
fifth book in the captivating Riyria Revelations.
Instead of a string of sequels this six-book fantasy
series was conceived as a single epic tale divided into
individual episodes. All were written before the first
was released so that plot elements are intertwined, yet
each book has its only story and
conclusion.
NOTE: Wintertide
is permanently out of print as a stand alone book
and will now be included in the Orbit (Fantasy Imprint
of Hachette Book Group) Omnibus edition:
Heir of
Novron.

"Wintertide (A++) is
the second top-rated combo (with The Emerald Storm) of 2010
for me and establish the series as one of
the best traditional epic fantasies currently being published
and a top 10 novel of mine."
-- Liviu Suciu, Fantasy Book
Critic
"I
can't even START to tell you how amazing the last three
chapters of this book are. I can't tell you cause I'd
spoil stuff. Sufficed to say they knocked me right on my
ass. My mouth was on the floor for like an hour, and
I haven't actually stopped thinking of the
ramifications to certain characters and places. Let's just say
that as far as endings go, this is
probably the best
Sullivan has done yet in the series. Bar none. The
revelations are fast and furious but it is the events
of those last pages that will haunt you into the
wee hours thinking about them, not to mention where they
will take us..." --

"If you haven't yet
stepped
into
the world of The Riyria Revelations I
highly suggest that you do. Wintertide has
solidified Michael J. Sullivan as a writer with creativity and
finesse, a sense of humor and an understanding of what
truly makes a book readable again and again - characters
that push the boundaries of their existence and fight for
what is right." --
Lisa
Hurley, SciFiGuy
"Michael J. Sullivan has created a
world and a cast of characters that pull you in and
remind you why you fell in love with this genre in the
first place. If you can remember how the wizards,
warriors,
damsels and dragons once moved your imagination,
I highly recommend that you see a masterful
author updating their genre's archetypes. Wintertide and
the prior entries in Michael
Sullivan's Riyria Revelations are some of the
most enjoyable stories I've had the good fortune to stumble
across in the last few years. If you consider yourself
a fan of fantasy, run -- don't walk -- to
jump into Michael Sullivan's world immediately. This is what you
should be reading." --
