"The battles are vivid and visceral, the action brutal, the pace headlong, and Abercrombie piles the betrayals, reversals, and plot twists one atop another to keep us guessing how it will all come out. The epic first book in the World of the First Law trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of Red Country and The Blade Itself. This is his best book yet." ―George R.R. Martin, author of Game of Thrones Springtime in Styria.
