Joe Abercrombie Livres

Le tocsin de la guerre résonne aux portes de l'Union. L'armée du monde libre, inexpérimentée, semble inconsciente du danger qui la guette. Face à elle, sur le front du Nord, les barbares de Bethod se chauffent d'un tout autre bois... Au sud, les forces du Gorkhul se massent au pied de la cité de Dagoska. Alors que la ville bouillonne des préparatifs de la bataille, Glotka découvre une conspiration visant à livrer la ville à l'ennemi sans combat. Menacé à chaque instant, l'Inquisiteur a besoin de réponses, et vite. Pendant ce temps, la poignée de héros réunie par Bayaz progresse vers le bord du Monde. Le Mage espère y trouver la Graine, une relique jadis responsable de la destruction d'un empire et, peut-être aujourd'hui, l'unique voie de salut pour l'Union...

War. Politics. Revolution.The Age of Madness has arrived . . .

Three standalone novels set in the world of the FIRST LAW trilogy, from SUNDAY TIMES bestseller, Joe Abercrombie.

The chimneys of industry rise over Adua and the world seethes with new opportunities. But old scores run deep as ever. On the blood-soaked borders of Angland, Leo dan Brock struggles to win fame on the battlefield, and defeat the marauding armies of Stour Nightfall. He hopes for help from the crown. But King Jezal's son, the feckless Prince Orso, is a man who specialises in disappointments. Savine dan Glokta - socialite, investor, and daughter of the most feared man in the Union - plans to claw her way to the top of the slag-heap of society by any means necessary. But the slums boil over with a rage that all the money in the world cannot control. The age of the machine dawns, but the age of magic refuses to die. With the help of the mad hillwoman Isern-i-Phail, Rikke struggles to control the blessing, or the curse, of the Long Eye. Glimpsing the future is one thing, but with the guiding hand of the First of the Magi still pulling the strings, changing it will be quite another...

The King of the Union lies on his deathbed, the peasants revolt, and the nobles scramble to steal his crown. No one believes that the shadow of war is about to fall across the heart of the Union. Only the First of the Magi can save the world, but there are risks.

Set over three days, "The Heroes"--the new novel by the author of "Best Served Cold"--is about violence and ambition, gruesome deaths and betrayals, and the brutal truth that no plan survives contact with the enemy.

With her cowardly step father for company, Shy South journeys into the lawless Far Country, reckoning with the Ghosts and being forced into an alliance with the infamous soldier of fortune Nicomo Cosca, with one purpose in mind: to get her family back.

Inquisitor Glokta, a crippled and increasingly bitter relic of the last war, former fencing champion turned torturer extraordinaire, is trapped in a twisted and broken body - not that he allows it to distract him from his daily routine of torturing smugglers. Nobleman, dashing officer and would-be fencing champion Captain Jezal dan Luthar is living a life of ease by cheating his friends at cards. Vain, shallow, selfish and self-obsessed, the biggest blot on his horizon is having to get out of bed in the morning to train with obsessive and boring old men. And Logen Ninefingers, an infamous warrior with a bloody past, is about to wake up in a hole in the snow with plans to settle a blood feud with Bethod, the new King of the Northmen, once and for all - ideally by running away from it. But as he's discovering, old habits die really, really hard indeed . . . . . . especially when Bayaz gets involved. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he's about to make the lives of Glotka, Jezal and Logen a whole lot more difficult . . .
