Series
Rise and Fall
by Michael J. Sullivan
This is the "bridge" series that occurs between Legends of the First Empire and The Riyria novels and chronicles the rise and fall of the great Novronian Empire. It starts 800 years after the last book in Legends of the First Empire and 1,000 years before the first book of Riyria. It tells the story through three important historical figures in the world of Elan: Nolyn, the son of Nyphron and the first heir to the empire, Farilane a princess with a passion for finding the truth about the empires past and is the key to its future, and Esrahaddon, a famed wizard who brought down the destruction of the First Empire.

The Legends of the First Empire
by Michael J. Sullivan
The Legends of the First Empire is a fantasy series set in the distant past of the world of Elan (made famous in the Riyria novels). It chronicles a time when humankind was primitive and thought of the more superior Fhrey as gods, and how they rose against their former masters. No prior knowledge of the Riyria books is required to enjoy this series to the fullest, but those who read both will find the truth in various myths and legends and see for themselves how The First Empire was formed. The six books of this series are divided into two closely related trilogies. The first half has three largely standalone tales. The second half is one long tale broken into three books because the tale was too large for conventional printing technology without resorting to thin paper, Smyth binding, small fonts, and tight line spacing.

The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter
12 years before the events in Theft of Swords, Royce Melborn (an ex-assassin) and Hadrian Blackwater (previously a mercenary) wanted nothing to do with each other. But fate stepped in and put their feet on the same path birth Riyria (it's elvish for two), and they discovered that the best friendships are those forged in blood.

Esrahaddon is reported to have destroyed the world’s greatest empire — but some believe he saved it. Yet all can agree on three facts: He was exiled to the wilderness, hunted by a goblin priestess, and sentenced to death by a god — all before the age of eight. How he managed to survive and why people continue to fear his name a thousand years later has always been a mystery . . . until now.

Her singular obsession is finding the mythical Book of Brin, a tome not just lost but intentionally buried.
