Dark & Epic Fantasy

Before They Are Hanged

by Joe Abercrombie · The First Law series

War descends on the frozen north, and the Union army—riven by politics and crippled by incompetence—faces slaughter unprepared. Abercrombie's signature grimdark style delivers brutal battles, morally compromised characters, and a cynical dissection of heroism. The second book in The First Law trilogy deepens the blood and betrayal.
