It’s not an ongoing tale or interconnected in the sense that Revelations was, or Song of Ice and Fire is. That’s not to say I will write twelve books. They will be generally standalone novels that I imagine will center on significant events in their career together, told mostly in order, and I was thinking one book for everyone of one their twelve years. The Riyria Chronicles, as I envision them, are stories that fill in the history of the twelve years of Royce and Hadrian’s life as Riyria. Right now it’s not much more than an idea I have. You’re probably wondering what The Riyria Chronicles are. Sullivan himself has more details about the series and its conception: The Crown Tower is the first volume in a two book series (for ‘duology’ doesn’t seem the right term, given their nature, as explained by Sullivan below) called The Riyira Chronicles, and will be followed shortly afterwards by The Rose and Thorn, the concluding volume.
But it isn’t gold or jewels that the old wizard is after, and if he can just keep them from killing each other, they just might do it. The Crown Tower is the impregnable remains of the grandest fortress ever built and home to the realm’s most prized possessions.
Together they must steal a treasure that no one can reach. Hadrian, a warrior with nothing to fight for is paired with a thieving assassin, Royce, with nothing to lose.
