Resumen del Editor

This program is read by actor Brenock O’Connor (Game of Thrones, Derry Girls).

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

Set in a city of traders and thieves, monsters and murderers, this thrilling epic fantasy debut is a must-hear for fans of Nicholas Eames and Joe Abercrombie.

Lukan Gardova is a cardsharp, academy dropout, and—thanks to a duel that ended badly—the disgraced heir to an ancient noble house. His days consist 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 in strange circumstances, 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

"Enough grit to make you flinch, enough heart to make you punch the air, this book will have dark fantasy lovers burning through the pages. Everything that's good about modern fantasy is here."—Ed McDonald, author of Daughter of Redwinter

Fantastic Story!!!

I loved this story, it managed to grab me from the start and kept my attention from start to finish!! When is the second book coming out!!

Great new serie

Wonderful characters and a fun new world. Narrator was spot on - particularly Flea’s voice. Can’t wait for the next books.

Great Story

The plot of the story is fantastic and the narrator does a good job with his different accents but in my opinion the accents for most the characters are exactly the same so it can be hard ro distinguish one person from another even if it's male or female. but I did enjoy the story.

Refreshing!!!

This is one of very very few books that I have listened to exclusively straight through without needing a change of “scenery” and switching to something else for a while. It was a great listen both for the excellent narration of newbie Brenock O’Connor (who seems to have a great future with his side hustle of narration) and the fun way Logan intermixes the sub genres of grim dark, magic, humor, mystery, and character growth/adventure/hero’s journey. It was constantly surprising and every time I thought I could guess what might happen next (and get bored) it would go in a new direction. The main characters are endearing and, even better, there are several side characters who were wonderfully unique enough to hope for potential 1.5 novellas or 0.5 prequels about. There was just never any dragging of plot and is why I use refreshing as a descriptive. So many authors make the choice to stay in comfortable story arcs for a tad too long. It can lead to whole chapters where nothing is going on other than the underscoring of character traits over and over leaving the intelligent reader with the sense that they are stuck in a remedial detention class. This story never goes there; it is unpredictable and entertaining. Next please!!!

Good worldbuilding

The story takes a little while to really get going, but the characters are interesting and engaging enough. By the end I was hooked!

outstanding

adventure in spadefuls, action, magic and a good ending...well worth it... a perfect nugget of escapism

Amazing book.

Great characters, good action flow, and the history is 5 of 5, glad I give it chance.

Fantastic Fantasy Mystery Adventure

This book is awesome. Excellent world building, compelling characters, mystery, adventure, humor, and action. This is exactly what I look for in a fantasy novel. Probably one of the best debuts I have ever read. I can’t wait for the sequel.

Eagerly awaiting the next installment

One of the best fantasy books I’ve come across in a while. It’s not only entertaining, but well-written and performed excellently. I highly recommend picking it up.

Nice

Nice story, characters were fun to me. Definitely look forward to anything more to come.
