The secret is in the tower. The problem is the beast.
The answer is two thieves.

When a destitute young woman hires two thieves to help save her remote village from nocturnal attacks, they are drawn into the schemes of the wizard Esrahaddon. While Royce struggles to breech the secrets of an ancient elven tower, Hadrian attempts to rally the villagers to defend themselves against an unseen killer. What begins with the simple theft of a sword places the two thieves at the center of a firestorm that could change the future of Elan.

RECENT REVIEWS
"Mr. Sullivan continues to impress. In Royce and Hadrian he has created some
of the best characters the genre has seen in some time, and in Avempartha he
shows that he knows what to do with them. These books should be in every bookstore"
 
Speculative Fiction Junkie

"Avempartha is another strong entry that exceeds its predecessor in both depth and scope. The Riyria Revelations is shaping up to be one of the most original and entertaining fantasy series I’ve seen in years on par, and often better, than anything any of the major publishers have to offer. Get reading people!"
  King of the Nerds Fantasy Reviews

"In short, “Avempartha” is highly, highly recommended and a novel that raises Michael Sullivan’s The Riyria Revelations to “major league” status."  
Fantasy Book Critic

ABOUT THE SERIES
Avempartha is book two of the multi-book saga: The 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 is self-contained and can be read independently from each other. Avempartha can be enjoyed by those who have not read the first episode: The Crown Conspiracy.
