About this ebook
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.
Praise for the Last Legacy series:
'A fast-paced carnival of setbacks and skullduggery that reminds me of . . . me! Charming from the first twist to the last' Scott Lynch
'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
