description:
<b>She hired them to save her father...the wizard had other plans.</b>
When a destitute young woman hires Royce and Hadrian to help save her remote village from nocturnal attacks, they are once more drawn into the schemes of the wizard Esrahaddon. While Royce struggles to breech the secrets of an ancient elven tower, Hadrian attempts to rally the villagers to defend themselves against the unseen killer. Once more, what begins with the simple theft of a sword places the two thieves at the center of a firestorm — but this time the outcome could change the future of Elan.

<i>"Excellent followup to The Crown Conspiracy...Taking the series to the next level, Avempathra exceeded my (already high) expectations."</i> -- Liviu Reviewer for Fantasy Book Critic

description:
They killed the king. They pinned it on two men. They chose poorly.
There is no ancient evil to defeat, no orphan destined for greatness, just two guys in the wrong place at the wrong time...Royce Melborn, a skilled thief, and his mercenary partner, Hadrian Blackwater make a profitable living carrying out dangerous assignments for conspiring nobles until they become the unwitting scapegoats in a plot to murder the king. Sentenced to death, they have only one way out…and so begins this epic tale of treachery and adventure, sword fighting and magic, myth and legend.
RECENT REVIEWS:
"Michael J. Sullivan has written a book I will read over and over again and it most definitely will always reside on my favorite’s shelf. " — ReaderViews
"A fast paced and riveting fantasy, "The Crown Conspiracy" is well worth reading." — Midwest Book Review
"There are so many layers to this story that to explain it in a few words is nigh impossible.” — Front Street Reviews
"The Crown Conspiracy is great fun and a romp end to end...Highly recommended and another positive surprise for 2008." — Fantasy Book Critic
"This is by far one of the most well written independent novels I have had the pleasure of reading. I highly recommend it to both lovers of fantasy, and also those who like stories along the lines of the King Arthur legends, and the tales of the Green Knight." — Odyssey Reviews
"This is the first of a six book series and the lucky ones will catch each as they are released. I can hardly wait for the next book, Avempartha! (April 2009). If it is half as good as this first story, then the author will have a winning series on his hands. Excellent!" — Huntress Reviews
"Great characters, delightful misdirection, good world building, and just the right amount of humor. If I had to describe this book with one word, that word would be fun!" — The Old Bat's Belfry

Jeannie,Thanks for mentioning my bio. I never read it before. My wife wrote that some time ago and I never actually looked at it. But in doing so I found a number of errors, that you were clearly too kind to mention. Thank you.
Thanks so much Michael for the friendship! I'm so impressed and inspired by your bio!
Blessings,
Jeannie
Hello Michael, I hope you are having a good day! =)
