Silverblood Promise (The Last Legacy, 1) By James Logan

In the heart of a bustling city teeming with traders and thieves, monsters and murderers, lies the stage for a riveting tale of redemption and intrigue. "A fast-paced carnival of setbacks and skullduggery," as described by Scott Lynch, this debut epic fantasy promises a thrilling ride from start to finish.

At the center of the whirlwind is Lukan Gardova, a complex protagonist with a past marred by a duel gone awry, leaving him the disgraced heir of a once-proud noble lineage. His days are now a blend of disillusionment, fueled by cheap wine and rigged card games, as he wrestles with the consequences of his choices.

But when news of his estranged father's mysterious demise reaches him, Lukan's life takes a dramatic turn. Driven by a newfound purpose to uncover the truth behind his father's death, he embarks on a perilous journey that leads him to Saphrona, a legendary city where wealth and power reign supreme.

Yet, in Saphrona, where everything is for sale to the highest bidder, Lukan soon discovers that the path to truth is fraught with danger. Amidst the opulence and shadows of the city, he confronts deadly secrets and adversaries at every turn, realizing that the price of uncovering the truth may demand more than he's willing to pay.

With echoes of Nicholas Eames and Joe Abercrombie, this immersive fantasy debut promises a narrative brimming with deception, suspense, and the quest for redemption, captivating readers with its intricate world-building and compelling characters. 📚❤️
