The Silverblood Promise

The Last Legacy, Book 1

De: James Logan

Narrado por: Brenock O'Connor

'A fast-paced carnival of setbacks and skullduggery that reminds me of... me! Charming from the first twist to the last' Scott Lynch, author of THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA

The first in an extraordinary new fantasy epic, perfect for fans of Nicholas Eames and James Islington!

Lukan Gardova is a cardsharp, academy dropout, and - thanks to a duel that ended badly - the disgraced heir to an ancient noble house. His life consists of cheap wine, rigged card games and wondering how he might win back the life he threw away.

When Lukan discovers that his estranged father has been murdered by unknown assailants, he finds fresh purpose. Deprived of his chance to make amends for his mistakes, he vows to unravel the mystery behind his father's death.

His search for answers leads him to Saphrona, fabled city of merchant princes, where anything can be bought if one has the coin. Lukan only seeks the truth, but instead he finds danger and secrets in every shadow.
For in Saphrona, everything has a price - and the price of truth is the deadliest of all.

'Relentlessly entertaining, defiantly idealistic, it's a daring debut filled to the brim with classic fantasy fun' Sebastien de Castell

'An undeniable masterwork - and a blueprint for how adventure fantasy should be written' Kirkus (starred review)

'A superb debut filled to the brim with action, adventure and a murder mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat' Fantasy Hive

Performance issues

The narrator’s pacing is inconsistent, and some words aren’t clearly articulated. The story was decent, with its strongest aspects being the characters and the potential it sets up for the next book.

Loved it, and will absolutely get the AudioBook absint

Loved the story; very much looking forward to the next book.

Brenock O'Connor was a revelation! Careened straight up to my top five narrator list : )

Thoroughly excellent fantasy

Narrator was great world was deep and characters likeable with room to grow in the sequel highly recommend

lacks logic

how can something like this be published? characters act to push the story forward - a very bland and counter logical story. how they act? like the authors automata.

Simplistic

An average story ruined by a monotonous narration. I certainly won't be finishing the series.
