Carl asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Michael I'm way behind on my Royce & Hadrian books. Do you have a list somewhere (I thought I remember seeing it) of best order to read them in?

Michael J. Sullivan Hey Carl, I recommend reading in order of publication so that would mean the following order:

* Theft of Swords (Riyria Revelations #1 and #2)
* Rise of Empire (Riyria Revelations #3 and #4)
* Heir of Novron (Riyria Revelations #5 and #6)
* The Crown Tower (Riyria Chronicles #1)
* The Rose and the Thorn (Riyria Chronicles #2)
* The Death of Dulgath (Riyria Chronicles #3)

There are a few short stories, which are written to be stand alone stories and can be read in any order these include:

* The Jester
* Professional Integrity
* The Viscount and the Witch

I would not that the last one (Viscount and the Witch) actually is the seed that grew into the Riyria Chronicles. As such, it ended up being chapter #2 of that novel, so if you've read The Rose and the Thorn - you can skip that short.

Thanks for asking.
