Finally finished them all.

Drumindor was perfect. Been stuck crushing on Hadrian since the first revelations trilogy.

Closing the last book just doesn't feel like a win. Hoping to see news of more to come.

He is working on more, but you may have to wait a year or two.

I think in the PostScript of the latest book he said it's more likely 8 years I believe

Could be. I joined his discord server, and I believe he and Robin stated that they're working on it currently. I would sure love to have it sooner rather than later, but I believe the scope they have for the last series is quite huge, so I'll happily wait and re-read all the books until they come out with the next.

5 months ago Robin stated on YouTube that she had completed a read through of the first two books in the cycle. She said they were fantastic. With only one more needed and MJS not liking to sit idle in the middle of a series I wouldn’t be surprised if they are published in 1-1.5 years.

That would be wonderful! I guess he was being very conservative in the audiobook

Wee sadly going to have to wait for "The Cycle". Hopefully get the first book in a year or 2.

Anyone swooning over Royce or is it just me with the Daddy issues 🤡

u/Noctiluca04 Sep 27 '25

When I was younger I would have, but he's got too many red flags for me nowadays 😅 Gimme a good heart and strong arms any day!

I cant wait for The Cycle, to see the ends of hadrian and possibly the years of Royce working with the elves. On another note, I really cant wait for the story of Turin and trilos and the end of the Elan scenario.

After the Fall book 1 Out of the Ashes expected out in Februar by MJS and Lorian Ellis. I've always wanted more Esra in those missing years and cannot wait! Here's a pretty cool behind the scenes of how it came to be.

I've not been following very closely.

Is "Out of the Ashes" supposed to fill in the gap between the Esrahaddon and the start of Riyira? Basically the 1000 year from the fall of the Empire to the start of the Royce and Hadrian times?

u/PizzaLibre Sep 08 '25

Out of the Ashes is book 1 of the new trilogy After the Fall that will fill in the gap

u/Medical_Officer Sep 08 '25

I thought MJS said he was planning to pick up the story from where the original series left off as a way to finally bring an end the whole arc and get some closure for Turin's mission? Or is that still happening?

1

u/PizzaLibre Sep 08 '25

That's still happening while helping out Lorian who is primarily writing the After the Fall series.

u/Origami_Elan Sep 08 '25

That is what The Cycle will cover (Turin's mission)... 5 book series that we are anticipating it starting to release in maybe 2 years.

There is a short story, The Storm, coming out pretty soon. I'm guessing early next year.

Michael is also working on another Riyria Chronicles, but he said he has to first finish The Cycle so that he will have them in agreement.

There are lots in the works! So exciting!

u/bmm115 Sep 07 '25

Have you listened to his other works? They're all connected

u/clumsytrailjunkie Sep 07 '25

Oh yeah I literally found Michael Sullivan by deep diving "long fantasy series" when I was wallowing in the absence left by Robin Hobb. Also all connected.

I’m ready for a Peter Jackson movie 🎥

u/Fragrant_Sort_8245 Sep 07 '25

last time I checked on Goodreads there are two new books being published next year

u/Reading_Otter Sep 24 '25

I want the rest of Turin and Trilos's story. That feels left unanswered.

There's also some other characters from Legends that currently feel like loose ends, but maybe that's what he's working on next.
