Product Description

For more than a year, Royce Melborn has tried to forget Gwen DeLancy, the woman who saved him and his partner Hadrian Blackwater. Unable to stay away any longer, they return to Medford to a very different reception - she refuses to see them.

Once more she is shielding them, this time from the powerful noble who abused her. But she doesn't know the rules Royce would break to see her safe.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Great Beginning Continues! 21 Sep 2013
By Val Kyrie
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
As one reader aptly named their review, reading this series is indeed like spending time with your best friends - what could be better than finding out how Royce grew to care about Gwen when he doesn't even care enough to name his own horse? The excellent writing's still there, taking us deeper into the lives of the characters and magnifying details of their interesting settings.

Firstly, you can tell that something has changed Royce and Hadrian's partnership. Although their bond is not as strong as the one they will have much later, you can see how things have improved and it's pleasantly surprisingly. After a year, Hadrian is able to understand Royce to a certain extent, observing that the man only smiles and wears his hood up if someone is going to suffer, and even learns from his partner how to move with a little more stealth and awareness of his surroundings. What I found particularly impressive was the observations of Wintertide through Hadrian's perspective and how differently he thinks from the way he did in the previous novel. While things are more toned down with regards to Gwen in the story, you can see just how wonderfully the connection between herself and Royce forms, delicately presented in a way that is not eye-rolling at all or boringly derivative - it is genuinely enhancing.

In addition to Gwen and Royce, there is the unrequited love that Hilfred has for Arista and also King Amrath's restrained affection towards the queen. Tellingly, the romance here is somewhat melancholic, hesitant, and self-conscious. Neither man knows how the other person feels, despite being united by duty and marriage, and they each endure what feels like a mortal blow to their hearts when events come to pass. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars all round proper adventure 2 Dec 2013
By P Cox
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Read both the Riyria Chronicles books in 10 days, now started on the later adventures!

You can feel the cold when it snows & due to the personalities developed in the characters you are always left guessing by being sucked in to one or the other, which ever is more you!!

best find since David Gemmel

5.0 out of 5 stars The tale continues... 15 Nov 2013
By Marj

The difficulty with any "prequel" is that we know how things will turn out eventually. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the Riyria Tales, so this volume is a welcome addition. I love the counter-play between the two heroes and that is what makes these books great in my opinion.

By svg
Format:Kindle Edition
Royce and Hadrian are back and its great to read about their early lives together. I wholeheartedly agree with everyone who says its like catching up with old friends, because it really is.
I'm off to read the 'originals' again as I just cant get enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Where is Book 3 please 16 Oct 2013
By Karen Kennedy-Milne
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A good find, or should I say - a good recommendation from Amazon. Interesting world, interesting characters, definitely hooked on what happens next. Which is sadly not the case with many books I read these days. Well worth reading, but start with Book 1.
