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

The hotly anticipated sequel to THE SILVERBLOOD PROMISE, the incredible new epic fantasy series perfect for fans of Scott Lynch. 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 past catches up with him, his key to the vault ends up in the hands of a mysterious thief known only as the Rook. As Lukan and his companions race to recover the key, they soon find themselves trapped in a web of murder and deceit. In desperation, Lukan requests the help of Lady Marni Volkova, scion to 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 prove to be the city's greatest discovery . . . or its destruction.

Lukan Gardova je opilec a karbaník, kterého vyhodili z Akademie kvůli souboji, jímž zneuctil svůj urozený rod. Nyní se protlouká od ničeho k ničemu a marně přemýšlí, jak získat zpátky život, který marnotratně zahodil. Jenomže pak kdosi za podivných okolností zavraždí jeho otce, a Lukan tak získá nový cíl. Sice už nemůže napravit, co provedl, hodlá však odhalit záhadu skrývající se za otcovou smrtí. Hledání odpovědí ho přivede do Safrony, bájného města bohatých kupců, kde se dá za peníze koupit prakticky cokoliv. Lukan hledá jen pravdu, ovšem místo ní odhaluje na každém kroku nebezpečí a tajemství. Protože v Safroně má všechno svou cenu — a cena za pravdu může přinést smrt.
