Published June 7, 2022 by Michael J. Sullivan.
SOME TRUTHS ARE DANGEROUS, CERTAIN SECRETS BEST CONCEALED, AND ONE STORY NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN WRITTEN AT ALL.
Being an unwanted twin in the imperial line of succession, Farilane becomes a scholar, an adventurer, and—in a time when reading is forbidden—a hunter of books.

This latest set of stories sits snugly between the Legends of the First Empire series and the Riyria books (Revelations and Chronicles). With this tale, Michael continues his tradition of unlikely heroes who must rise to the call when history knocks, demanding to be let in. This series will conclude in the summer of 2023 with the release of Esrahaddon, the final piece in a narrative that began in 2008 and contains nineteen full-length novels spread across four series.
Content warning After Nolyn, which I did not like as much as other Sullivan books, Farilane was a blast! I loved the main character, her progress, the connections to so many of the other books. I loved the other "main" character and the overall story.
I loved the ending. One of the few books, where I shed a little tear. It had to happen, though. Just as Robin said in her afterwords....
