Rise of Empire contains Nyphron Rising and The Emerald Storm, books 3 and 4 of Riyria Revelations.

A puppet is crowned. The true heir remains hidden. A rogue's secret could change everything.

War has come to Melengar. To save her kingdom, Princess Arista runs a desperate gamble when she defies her brother and hires Royce and Hadrian for a dangerous mission. As the power of the Nyphron Empire grows, so does Royce's suspicion that the wizard Esrahaddon is using the thieves as pawns in his own game. To find the truth, he must unravel the secret of Hadrian's past - what he discovers may end their friendship and break Riyria in two.

A message is intercepted. A sinister plan launched. Two thieves stand in the way.

Ex-mercenary Hadrian Blackwater sets course on a high seas adventure to find the lost Heir of Novron. His only hope lies in confronting the ruthless and cunning Merrick Marius. Fearing his friend is not up to the challenge, Royce Melborn joins his old partner for one last mission. Their journey finds them adrift amid treachery and betrayals forcing Hadrian to face a past he hoped never to see again.

Amazing

This is the first series I bought that was dramatized. The voice actors are amazing and it really knows feel like you’re in the story. I would 100% recommend this series.

Loved it!

I really love the full cast and background sounds truly making it a movie in my mind!

Just a fun book of the genre.

I enjoyed both 1 and 2 very much. If you like this genre it is good. If you don't like it don't listen. I will listen to all books.

Best book of series so far I really did enjoy this book. life and death harrowing escapes painful losses and sad defeats. wonderful so glad I continued the series cannot wait for the last.

Another magnificent entry

What a great follow up to this series and superb voice acting, along with a rich narrative, once again rounds out a riveting and interesting read. Like a beautiful movie playing out in your head, I can’t go back to normal audiobooks after having been spoiled by this series.
