Synopsis
The sixth and final book of the Riyria Revelations brings the series' overarching plot lines toward their conclusion, drawing together the empire, the church, and the long search for the true Heir of Novron. Royce and Hadrian, alongside Princess Arista, Esrahaddon, and their other allies, journey toward the legendary lost city of Percepliquis, which gives the book its name, seeking answers that have eluded them across the previous five volumes. With the empire's stability and the church's authority both hanging on the outcome, the characters must confront the accumulated consequences of the choices made throughout the series as they close in on the city's long-hidden secrets.

Notes
- From the series record (The Riyria Revelations): True first editions are the 2008-2011 self-published novels (Ridan Publishing, run by the author's wife Robin Sullivan), the 3-omnibus repackaging commonly seen today (Theft of Swords, Rise of Empire, Heir of Novron, Orbit Books, 2011-2012) is a LATER combination of these 6 originals, not the first edition. Robin Sullivan is the publisher/business partner, not a co-author, on any title.
