The BFS Book Club is Reading: The Silverblood Promise

Yet another perk of joining the BFS: get to know some of the best new speculative fiction reads, and chat about them with the community.

After a hugely successful first read for the new BFS Book Club, we’re diving straight into our second offering: THE SILVERBLOOD PROMISE by James Logan!

BFS Secretary David Green, who runs the book club, says of this month’s book: “The Silverblood Promise has been delighting readers eager for Epic Fantasy since its release in the summer of 2024. Exciting and fast-paced – while still boasting a detailed world that feels lived in with many more stories to tell – James Logan’s debut is a perfect entry point for readers who have never dipped into Epic Fantasy and those looking to scratch their fix alike. It’s a great fit for the BFS Book Club and I’m looking forward to discussing the book with our members.”

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.

About the BFS Book Club

This is more than just an online book club: not only can members read along and join discussions on the BFS Discord server and in our Facebook group, but we’ll also have exclusive perks for BFS members, such as live Q&As with the authors.

Get your copy of The Silverblood Promise – whether you request it at your library, purchase your own copy from the bookstore of your choice, or listen to the audio version – and then join the BFS Facebook group or members-only Discord server to chat about the book as you read (no spoilers, please!). It’s totally fine for readers to not enjoy the selected books, but we do ask that you express your thoughts in a kind way – you never know who’s a member and following the discussion!

There’s already a spoiler-free discussion happening in the dedicated channel on the BFS members-only Discord server and in our Facebook group. The full spoiler-ific discussion will happen over the weekend of 21-22 December.

This book club will grow with members’ needs, so David will ask for feedback and tweak the formula after these first discussions. Head over to our Facebook group or members-only Discord server and start getting involved. Not yet in the Discord server? Contact us to request your invite link.

See you at book club!
