Summary

The end is coming.

Logen Ninefingers might only have one more fight in him, but it’s going to be a big one. Battle rages across the North, the King of the Northmen still stands firm and there’s only one man who can top him. His oldest friend and his oldest enemy. It’s time for the Bloody-Nine to come home.

With too many masters and too little time, Superior Glokta is fighting a different kind of war - a secret struggle in which no-one is safe and no-one can be trusted. His days with a sword are far behind him. It’s a good thing blackmail, threats, and torture still work well enough.

Jezal dan Luthar has decided that winning glory is too painful, and turned his back on soldiering for a life with the woman he loves. But love can be painful too, and glory has a nasty habit of creeping up on someone.

While the King of the Union lies on his death bed, the peasants revolt and the nobles scramble to steal his crown. No-one believes that the shadow of war is falling across the very heart of the Union. The First of the Magi has a plan to save the world. But there are risks. There is no risk more terrible, after all, than to break the First Law.

More of this!!

Terrific characters in a finely developed story line and magnificently narrated. His ability to portray the characters with the skill of his voice, tone and accents is superb.

A great series read aloud by one of the best.

A great series read aloud by one of the best narrators on Audible. Buy Best Served Cold, next for more grim-dark antics.

The best of the trilogy!

Steven Pacey Nailed it

I have read this trilogy before, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is my kind of mix of gritty realistic fantasy, war and hard as nails protagonists.

One of the books strengths are the large number of strong and contrasting characters. And Steven Pacey read the story beautifully. He got each character spot on. Each with it's own unique accent and flavor.

Great trilogy, by a good author, and brilliantly narrated. 5/5

I want more, Mr Abercrombie

This trilogy has blown me away. Beautifully written and narrated, full of unique and intriguing characters - especially the main man, this was amazing fantasy. And as I try more such books I realise that this kind of quality seems rare. I loved every moment.
