Our view
How Hadrian and Royce first met is the story of “The Crown Tower”, and it is told as a tight, fast-moving heist. Two men who cannot stand each other are forced into one job, and the pleasure lies in watching them learn to work as a team. Some readers find the start slow, and some miss the easy partnership the pair share in “The Riyria Revelations”. It serves newcomers and returning readers alike.

About the book
Two men who hate each other. One impossible mission. A legend in the making. Hadrian, a warrior with nothing to fight for, is paired with Royce, a thieving assassin with nothing to lose. Together they must steal a treasure that no one can reach. The Crown Tower is the impregnable remains of the grandest fortress ever built and home to the realm's most prized possessions. But it isn't gold or jewels that their employer is after, and if he can only keep them from killing each other, they might just get him his prize.
