UK fantasy writer Joe Abercrombie is the author of the First Law Trilogy: The Blade Itself, Before They Are Hanged and Last Argument of Kings.

"If you're fond of bloodless, turgid fantasy with characters as thin as newspaper and as boring as plaster saints, Joe Abercrombie is really going to ruin your day. A long career for this guy would be a gift to our genre."

Scott Lynch, author of The Lies of Locke Lamora

"The end is coming. Logen Ninefingers might only have one more fight left in him, but it's going to be a big one..."
