About this listen

The hotly anticipated sequel to The Silverblood Promise, continuing the incredible new epic fantasy series perfect for fans of Scott Lynch and James Islington

Some doors should not be opened . . .

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 find themselves trapped in a deadly web of murder and deceit. In desperation, Lukan seeks help from 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.

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

Critic reviews

A fantastic follow-up to The Silverblood Promise . . . fun, enjoyable and memorable
A stay-up-all-night-until-your-eyes-bleed kind of read - virtually unputdownable adventure fantasy
Smart, emotionally rewarding, and full of sharp wit and scrappy subterfuge, this adventure delivers
A very entertaining fantasy novel that is witty and a breeze to read . . . excellent

I needed some old fashioned fantasy, swords and sorcery to distract from [gestures vaguely] everything. This fit the bill nicely.

engaging story

Very sad that this one has finished it was so sad. What a journey they all went on and obviously not the last one (thankfully).

All the characters are so believable.

Not as surprising as the first one but very enjoyable nevertheless. The narrator does a fantastic job as well, even better than the first!

Great follow-up
