Many of the background elements that were present or hinted at in The Crown Conspiracy and Avempartha come into focus as the series shifts to a more Epic nature with prophecies, long-forgotten lineages, and scheming manipulating advisors, among other familiar elements.Īs the title of the omnibus would imply, the Empire and lineage of the thought-to-be lost heir of Novron is making a foothold in the world, absorbing smaller nation-states into its thrall.
Where the first two novels of the series work as sword and sorcery installments that could _possibly_ be read on their own, with the third installment Nyphron Rising Sullivan begins to reveal the hand of cards he’s playing. Royce and Hadrian are still under the employ of Alric, King of Melengar but things have quieted down a bit since the end of Avempartha. Review copy provided courtesy of Orbit Books
