Story
In Daretana’s greatest mansion, a high imperial officer lies dead—killed, to all appearances, when a tree erupted from his body. Even here at the Empire’s borders, where contagions abound and the blood of the leviathans works strange magical changes, it’s a death both terrifying and impossible. Assigned to investigate is Ana Dolabra, a detective whose reputation for brilliance is matched only by her eccentricities. Rumor has it that she wears a blindfold at all times, and that she can solve impossible cases without even stepping outside the walls of her home.

Story
In 1099, the armies of Christendom march for Jerusalem. Mercenary captain Robert Cutnose finds himself in the belly of a siege tower waiting to storm the walls in a desperate attempt to take the city. But what they find inside the city is far more terrifying than the arrows and spears that fly their way. After a savage attack by the moonlight, Cutnose's lifeblood leaks from his veins, and he is thrust into an immortal war between the Order and their prey they simply call the Hunted. Each desires to own a relic with power far greater than he could ever imagine.

When the fractious monks of the abbey rumoured to be the birthplace of the gods begin warring over claims of a new pantheon arising, the frantic abbot summons him to settle the dispute. But Estevar has his own problems: a near-fatal sword wound from his last judicial duel, a sworn knight who claims he has proof the monks are consorting with demons, a diabolical inquisitor, and a mysterious young woman.

The city chafes under the heavy hand of the Palleseen occupation, the choke-hold of its criminal underworld, the boot of its factory owners, the weight of its wretched poor and the burden of its ancient curse. What will be the spark that lights the conflagration? Despite the city's refugees, wanderers, murderers, madmen, fanatics and thieves, the catalyst, as always, will be the Anchorwood–that dark grove of trees, that primeval remnant, that portal, when the moon is full, to strange and distant shores.

The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Publisher's summary
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.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.
Critic reviews
"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

But Estevar has his own problems: a near-fatal sword wound from his last judicial duel, a sworn knight who claims he has proof the monks are consorting with demons, a diabolical inquisitor, and a mysterious young woman.

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!!!

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.

I needed this
This had been on my reading list for a bit and this lived up to my expectations. I haven’t read any fantastical thievery books yet so this was a good starting point I would suspect. Well paced. Liked how each chapter had me wanting more by the end of it. Definitely couldn’t put it down. Loved the side characters. Plot was nice, can’t wait to see where we go from here. Love a good magic system mystery. 4/5 stars for me

4.5 stars🌟🌟🌟🌟💫!
James Logan’s debut novel, the first installment in his Last Legacy saga, is nothing short of a masterwork and a masterclass in “how adventure fantasy ought be written”, 😃 to borrow a phrase from the great GRRM. Set in the mysterious city of Saphrona, the story follows Lukan Gardova—a disgraced heir desperate to outrun his past. When he discovers that his estranged father was murdered while clutching a cryptic note written in his own blood, Gardova embarks on a quest that takes him deep into a world filled with myth, legend, and dark secrets.
There are several aspects of this immensely entertaining adventure that set this apart.
First and foremost is the exceptional worldbuilding. Logan meticulously describes Saphrona, immersing readers effortlessly. The city’s tumultuous history, corrupt government, and underworld seemed to come alive, making it impossible for me to put the book down. Locke Lamora fans will appreciate the descriptions of the city of Saphrona, its dark underbelly, its politics, and the esoteric ancient race having left behind its traces in the form of architecture and artifacts.
The second is its characters. From the street urchin Flea to the infamous thief Lady Midnight, the diverse cast feels real and insightful. Their interactions added real depth and authenticity to the narrative. The banter between Flea and Lukan was full of wit and charm and dialogue with other characters was also entertaining. On the whole, the humor in the story was on point, often, again, reminiscent of Locke Lamora. -Not because the stories are same or similar but because the vibes were similar.
The third factor raising this fantasy a cut above the rest is its plot twists and pacing. Fans of Scott Lynch’s masterpiece (I am again making this comparison not because there is any similarity between the two stories but there does appear to be an inspiration here) will find echoes of its wit and intricate plotting in “The Silverblood Promise.” Both books feature cunning protagonists, elaborate heists, and unforgettable adventures. Silverblood’s bombshell revelations, nonstop action, and breakneck pacing kept me on the edge of my seat. Each chapter ended with a tantalizing hook, making it impossible for me to resist turning the pages.
Lastly, the masterful writing. Logan’s precision shines through. Every sentence counts, and the conclusion brilliantly sets up the second installment which I can’t wait to get my hands on. The writing was very approachable and easily readable. I do not think it carried the punch of Abercrombie’s craft or Lynch’s wordsmithing but it was straightforward and did not get in the way of storytelling. Logan’s writing also shares Abercrombie’s grittiness and dark humor. That said, the comparison ends there as this is not a grim dark fantasy. Both authors excel at character-driven narratives and complex moral themes. Because I love Abercrombie, I appreciated Logan’s fresh take.
In summary, “The Silverblood Promise” is probably a nice blueprint for how an adventure fantasy should be crafted. Can’t wait for the next installment!!
