An Instant New York Times, USA Today, and Indie Bestseller

A brand-new epic fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Joe Abercrombie, featuring a notorious band of anti-heroes on a delightfully bloody and raucous journey

This hardcover edition features illustrated endpapers, a foil case stamp, and full-page interior illustrations.

Holy work sometimes requires unholy deeds.

Brother Diaz has been summoned to the Holy City, where he is certain a commendation and grand holy assignment awaits him. But his new flock is made up of unrepentant murderers, practitioners of ghastly magic, and outright monsters. The mission he is tasked with will require bloody measures from them all in order to achieve its righteous ends.

Elves lurk at our borders and hunger for our flesh, while greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions and comfort. With a hellish journey before him, it's a good thing Brother Diaz has the devils on his side.

    4.25 ⭐ This is my first Abercrombie book, but I will absolutely be looking at his other books! I combo read this with the audiobook. This was cynical, bloody, and full of amazing characters who are all varying shades of awful and wonderful at the same time. There are a lot of characters to juggle in the beginning but it's worth it The banter is on par and they're wickedly funny! I'll be waiting for book 2 and if you like morally gray characters with demonic and supernatural elements on a journey I'd recommend picking this up! Thanks to Macmillan Audio for the gifted audiobook.
