Fantasy
by Joe Abercrombie · The Shattered Sea series
A young woman determined to prove herself as a warrior joins a brutal training voyage across hostile lands. Thorn Bathu's gender makes her unwelcome among fighters, but survival demands she outmatch them all. Abercrombie's trademark grimness plays out in a coming-of-age tale where heroism is a lie and endurance is the only virtue.
