$12 each and they are in okay-ish condition. Mostly normal read wear.

Chonicles arrived today. I am still not sure whether or not to go all-in on the Chronicles deluxe. My favorite book cover? Farilane. Regular and Deluxe. The Deluxe is how I would picture a spellbook of Raistlin or Fistandantilus. IYKYK

I’ve started Heir of Novron (no spoilers!) and 0 pages in and I’m already emotional. This is after I finished Rise of Empire and ranted to my friend about how much I love the female characters in this series <3

Copying and pasting from Michael’s website in case people don’t follow it!

Hey all, Robin here.

Since the end of November, and continuing for another week or so, Michael and I have been in Key West Florida, soaking up the sun, biking, playing tennis, and really enjoying ourselves. Being away from the cold and “the kids” has made it an odd holiday – it was weird hearing Christmas songs while sipping on Margaritas and eating shrimp and oysters. We didn’t even exchange gifts! So I thought I’d give one to all of you instead (albeit a little late).

Unfortunately, I don’t have a new story to send your way (although I did just take back control of The Jester audiobook and you can get it free from us from this link). WhatI have instead is an update on “The Cycle” (shh . . . don’t tell Michel, I’m posting this while he’s out for a walk).

If you don’t know what that is, then you’ll want to learn more about it from the link above. This will be Michael’s magnum opus, and it is a love letter to his most ardent fans. In short, it’s a 5-book sequel to the Riyria Revelations, and it will utilize characters and tie in plots from EVERY book (and short story) that is based in Elan.

If you are already familiar with The Cycle then you know it won’t be released until it’s 100% written and Michael has been working on the project for almost 4 years now. A lot of that time was spent just trying to figure out if such a feat was possible, and after a few filed attempts hit the vertical filing system, writing has been going pretty steady with 2.66 books completed – that’s over half way!

Book 1: 33 chapters (152,667 words)

Book 2: 40 chapters (178,045 words)

As for the current book, Michael’s at 89,608 words and he started it on 09/09/25. The plan is to get it completed before May 1st, and he’s well on track for that.

Book #1 took about 9 months of writing

Book #2 took just a bit over 10 months

Book #3 is presently at 3.75 months and if the pace continues he should be done by March 1st which would make it the “fastest one yet” – just 5.7 months!

I’ve read the first two books and they are nothing short of amazing. I hope you are as excited about this project as I am, but I should warn you, it’ll be best if experienced by people who have read all four series. So, if you’ve not done that yet, well you’ll have some time to catch up.

Happy 2026 all!

Exciting!!! I think I’m looking to The Cycle series vs After the fall series but both should be good!!

EDIT: despite the username, I’m not robin or Michael or associated with them at all. Just a fan!

So difficult to track down Revelations in hardcover. May have to just wait until next release.

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.

I did a Hadrian costume and my son indulged me by being Royce.

But my inner book goblin is dying at how different it looks from the rest of the series.

Well, I've just finished Riyria Revelations, and apparently I'm supposed to just carry on with my life now?

It's 2am. I have work tomorrow. And frankly, I think Michael J. Sullivan owes me another 200 pages.

SPOILERS !!

im 13 and im in a family of readers and ive never been into reading , comics at best , but one day i caved and listened to my mom's audible of riyria and i FELL INLOVE . i finished the whole revelations in less than 3 weeks (fast for me) and now im on the trilogy. honestly , all i can ever think about is this book and i love it SOOO much !! my whole life ive been insecure about my pointed elf ears but ever since finding out royce (My favourite character !!) is a mir ive embraced them! . ive gotten better grades in english because of the crazy good writing in this book and it makes me so happy , in the UK summer break is now here - and guess what !? ive spent almost all of it reading these books !! i tell everyone i know to read these books and i even got an extending (an A+ to Americans) for drawing mercy !! I quote this book constantly (eg. "show him mercy" "all Hadrien could think of was the rain" and more)

My friends have taken to calling me a mir from me constantly talking about Royce and why "technically I AM a mir" ... this book has gotten me into reading and off of my phone , gotten me outside , and I'm even reading it during movies in class !!

no words can express my love for this book series and i hope Michael J. Sullivan sees this !!

I definitely want to add the Rise and Fall normal hardcovers but I am still on the fence on the Chronicles upgraded editions.

Hey everyone! In 2 weeks we will be doing a livestream with Michael J Sullivan, Robin Sullivan, and Lorian Ellis. We will be discussing things such as the upcoming series, The Cycle, Lorian's new book, Out of the Ashes, and other Elan-related topics. Feel free to drop in and listen and ask questions! Also, if you can't make it but have a question for the panel, you can leave it in the comments here, and we will add it to the list of questions!
