Summary
New York Times Audio best seller | Amazon Editor's pick | Audible Editor's pick
After more than 500 years of exile, the heir to the empyre is wary about his sudden reassignment to active duty on the Goblin War’s front lines. His mission to rescue an outpost leads to a dead-end canyon deep inside enemy territory, and his suspicion turns to dread when he discovers the stronghold doesn't exist. But whoever went to the trouble of planning his death to look like a casualty of war didn't know he would be assigned to the Seventh Sikaria Auxiliary Squadron. In the depths of an unforgiving jungle, a legend is about to be born, and the world of Elan will never be the same.
From Michael J. Sullivan, the New York Times, USA Today, and Washington Post best-selling author, a new adventure begins with the first book in The Rise and Fall trilogy. Although this series is set in the same world as the Riyria novels and the Legends of the First Empire books, it is a stand-alone tale. As such, no prior knowledge of the other works is required to enjoy this tale to its fullest.

Another world building masterpiece
Having read all the other books in the Legends and Rhyria chronicles, this series starter does not disappoint. Slow to start as context setting for the series needs to be put in place. However the series catches pace and does not let up. Excellent narration as usual. Waiting to listen to the next 2 books

Can't wait for the other 2 books.
I've listened to all the books in this Elan saga multiple times and I'd have to say my thrill and excitement remains. For me, Nolyn shows just how much MJS's artistry and skill as a storyteller gets better and better, with TGR inhabiting the skin of the characters in this masterful symbiotic relationship between writer and narrator. I particularly liked trying to unravel the threads linking characters, themes and events across all the books (ahh Malcolm, I knew you'd be there!). I smiled a lot at the myths held of past events. I'm wondering, just like with real history, how much of the 'facts' of the past uncovered in the 'Heir of Novron' , in which this thread unfolds (or does it?), will turn out to be true.

Better than most book in this saga
I guess it makes sense that all young Fhrey (in their first millennium) are kind of stupid, not just Mawyndulë, but it was a bit disappointing that the two half-humans in the story were just as easy to manipulate at 800+ as Mawyndulë was at 25-30+. The insane revolution idea was just too stupid for anyone to fall for.

Excellent start to a new series
Having just finished the Legends of the First Empire series, which I loved, I wondered how I would find the new series. I wasn't disappointed, if anything I think this series may be better...
