The Rose and the Thorn audiobook – The Riyria Chronicles, Book 2

As the sun set on a tranquil evening, I found myself lost in the captivating world of The Rose and the Thorn audiobook by Michael J. Sullivan. Nestled in my cozy reading nook, surrounded by the comforting scent of old books, I embarked on a literary journey that exceeded all expectations.

This second installment of The Riyria Chronicles held great anticipation for me, building upon the success of its predecessor. The story unfolded with dramatic twists and turns, laying the foundation for a trilogy that promises to bring closure to the quest of two unlikely heroes. Michael J. Sullivan skillfully weaved together the lives of Royce Melborn and Hadrian Blackwater, two professionals bound by an unbreakable bond despite their mutual disdain. In this part, their partnership as Riyria is born – a force to be reckoned with.

Returning to Medford after accomplishing their goal, Royce Melborn carries a heavy burden following the loss of Gwen DeLancy. Her sacrifice saved both Royce and Hadrian from imminent danger, but it has left her scarred and unwilling to reunite with Royce for fear of his thirst for revenge. The emotional turmoil and longing are masterfully narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds, whose commanding voice perfectly complements this tale.

The Rose and the Thorn audiobook immerses listeners in a world where vengeance intertwines with loyalty, love battles against darkness, and friendships are tested beyond measure. With every word spoken by Tim Gerard Reynolds, you’ll feel yourself being transported into this richly crafted universe.
