''Theft of Swords'' is the first of three volumes in ''The Riyria Revelations''. (Riyria is elfish... elven... elf-speak for two. No, I didn’t realise that either.) Michael J Sullivan originally wrote the Revelations as six novels. After a struggle, they were finally published by an independent publishing company. The company promptly went bust, leaving the international publisher, Orbit, to step in with an offer which included doubling up the books into three 700 page tomes. (The second volume, ''Rise of Empire'', also came out in 2011, leaving ''Heir of Novron'' for January 2012.)
