Description
Three times they tried to kill her. Then a professional was hired. So was Riyria.
When the last member of the oldest noble family in Avryn is targeted for assassination, Riyria's Royce and Hadrian are hired to foil the plot. Three years have passed since Hadrian, the war-weary mercenary, and Royce, the cynical ex-assassin, joined forces to become rogues-for-hire. All has gone well until they're asked to help prevent a murder. Now they must venture into an ancient corner of the world to save a mysterious woman who knows more about Royce than is safe and cares less about herself than is sane.

Critical Reviews
"Once again, I'm reminded of how much I LOVE Michael Sullivan's snarky, irreverent writing. More than once, I found myself laughing out loud at some sarcastic/droll quip--most of the time spoken by Royce, but Hadrian gets in a few funny ones as well. Absolutely worth reading" - Andy Peloquin, author of the Darkblade series
"The reality is that Royce Melborn and Hadrian Blackwater are possibly two of my favorite fictional characters ever." -- Fantasy Book Review
"I sound like a broken record, but I'm repetitively impressed by what Sullivan did with this series of standalone prequel novels to The Riyria Revelations. Imbued with the precise balance of danger, revelations, humor, friendship, loss, love, and hope, The Death of Dulgath is another engrossing feel-good fantasy novel. I honestly believe it deserves a spot in my list of favorite books." - Novel Notions
"The reality is that Royce Melborn and Hadrian Blackwater are possibly two of my favourite fictional characters ever, right up there with Tiffany Aching and Sam Vimes, Faramir, and Whiskeyjack. When you go and include the wonderful world in which the two characters inhabit, and Sullivan's Riyria books are some of my most beloved." - Fantasy Book Review
"Yes, I absolutely loved The Death of Dulgath just like I loved all the others. It's just so hard for me not to. The books are just so full of action, entertaining characters and fun that I just enjoy reading them and The Death of Dulgath is no exception. -- The Hobbleit
