The Silverblood Promise

This book was at the top of my most anticipated reads this year. It was definitely worth the wait.

This follows Lukan Gardova, a man with many talents, some which may not be legal or ethical. He does what he can to get by. He wasn't always like this. He comes from a prestigious family with money. At least they used to have money. After being booted from the Academy for a duel gone wrong, he pretty much ruined his families reputation and standing.

Now, seven years after leaving home in disgrace he finds out that his father was murdered. No one knows who did it, but there was a note left for Lukan. He swears a Silverblood Promise to find out who killed his father or die trying.

I loved this so much! It's compelling all the way through. The characters are fantastic. Lukan and Flea are my favorites. Most of it takes place in Saphrona, a city full of power struggles and lots of criminals. I also thought the narrator was great. This book is one of the best I've read this year.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for an audio arc.
