Synopsis

The hotly anticipated sequel to The Silverblood Promise continues the incredible new epic fantasy series perfect for fans of Scott Lynch.

This program is read by actor Brenock O’Connor (Game of Thrones, Derry Girls) and features a conversation between O'Connor and author James Logan.

Winter has come early to Korslakov, City of Spires, and Lukan Gardova has arrived with it. Most visitors to this famous city of artifice seek technological marvels, or alchemical ingenuity. Lukan only desires the unknown legacy his father has left for him, in the vaults of the Blackfire Bank.

But when Lukan's key to the vault is stolen by a mysterious thief known as the Rook, he and his friends race to win it back—and find themselves trapped in a web of murder and deceit. In desperation, Lukan requests the help of Lady Marni Volkova, scion of Korslakov's most powerful family.

Yet Lady Marni has secrets of her own. Worse, she has plans for Lukan and his friends. Plans that involve a journey into Korslakov's dark past, in search of a long-lost alchemical formula that could lead to the city's greatest discovery . . . or its destruction.

"A fast-paced carnival of setbacks and skullduggery that reminds me of... me! Charming from the first twist to the last."—Scott Lynch on The Silverblood Promise

"The audiobook narrator, Brenock O’Connor, perfectly captures [protragonist] Lukan’s voice." —IGN on The Silverblood Promise

Everyone knows I have a soft spot for motley crews. Especially when that includes a thief, a street urchin with a big mouth, and a noble sunk low. Don’t worry - we have a story recap! In the sequel, Lukan has a key for a vault at the Blackfire Bank, located in the city of Korslakov in the far north......more

3.5 Stars This was a solid sequel to the Silverblood Promise. The first book was one of my favourite books of last year when I read it so I was eager to continue on with this series. I liked this one but I didn't love it as much as the first. I feel like this one suffered from not reading the books s......more

Quotes

Praise for the Last Legacy series:

"A fast-paced carnival of setbacks and skullduggery that reminds me of...me! Charming from the first twist to the last."—Scott Lynch, New York Times bestselling author of The Lies of Locke Lamora

"The first volume of this sure-to-be-stellar series is a ribald, swashbuckling tale of treacheries, lies, and characters as gritty and cutthroat as anyone you’d meet in a tavern at midnight. Don’t miss these first steps into an epic world—one I can’t wait to tread again."—James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Starless Crown and The Cradle of Ice

"There’s never a dull moment in this instantly absorbing debut that offers effortless escapism. Perfect for fans of the “Mistborn” series by Brandon Sanderson."—Library Journal (starred review)

"[A] winning debut... Logan has an evident fondness for both the choreographed crime of Scott Lynch’s Gentlemen Bastards series and the underdog politics of Seth Dickinson’s Baru Cormorant books, while adding hints of a deeper backstory of lost empires and legendary supernatural threats."—Publishers Weekly

"Heartfelt and grim heroic fantasy with a snarky twist—perfect for fans of Scott Lynch."—Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones

"Enough grit to make you flinch, enough heart to make you punch the air. Everything that's good about modern fantasy is here. "—Ed McDonald, author of Daughter of Redwinter

"An engaging and action-packed fantasy read."—James Islington, author of The Licanius Trilogy

"An engrossing fantasy romp full of endearing characters, The Silverblood Promise is full of unexpected twists and turns, and an optimistic spirit. Relentlessly entertaining, defiantly idealistic, it’s a daring debut filled to the brim with classic fantasy fun."—Sebastien de Castell, author of Traitor's Blade

"A fast-paced, addicting read chock full of action, adventure, and good, old-fashioned skullduggery! You'll get sucked in by the world and the story's intrigue, but you'll stay for the wit, humor, and heart. Fans of Lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora, Jackson Bennett's Foundryside, or Netflix's Arcane will find plenty to love in these pages."—M.J. Kuhn, author of Among Thieves
