FREE: Professional Integrity (A Riyria Chronicles Tale)

Written by: Michael J. Sullivan
Narrated by: Tim Gerard Reynolds

Publisher's Summary

One of the genre's favorite pairs returns in a classic fantasy short for both Riyria veterans and first-time readers.

Several years have passed since the war-weary mercenary Hadrian and cynical ex-assassin Royce joined forces to start their thieves-for-hire organization better known as Riyria. Things have gone well enough for the team as they do "jobs" for various nobles throughout Elan. Usually that means stealing something, but when a young heiress asks them to steal her…well, that's a first for the pair. All is not as it seems, but Royce is determined to get the bottom of what's actually going on. After all, he has his professional integrity at stake.

Originally released in the Blackguards anthology published by Ragnarok Publications, this is a standalone short story of 10,800 words. No prior knowledge of The Riyria Revelations or The Riyria Chronicles is required to enjoy it to its fullest, making this a perfect introduction for new readers or a chance for existing fans to spend a little more time with old friends.

Good short read!

Interesting story line. Although predictable climax, the way it is carried is good, subtly funny.

Intriguing and Suspenseful Narration

Having heard "The Jester" right before this, I would say this story is much better fleshed out in the way the narrative progresses and the eponymous refrain comes at the right moments to raise its value up as a catchphrase! The ending events seemed a weeny bit rushed, what with the change of names and very little information on the housemaid. However this was a wonderful free story to listen to!

short n sweet

It felt nostalgic after listening to the whole connection n picking this at the end. Wasn't as gripping as the novel, but good enough for a short story

Intriguing

The story starts off very simply but gets more interesting as it progresses. Totally worthwhile short read/listen.
