The Devils by Joe Abercrombie
The Devils · Book 1
When you’re headed through hell, you need the Devils on your side.
Europe stares into the abyss. Plague and famine stalk the land, greedy princes chase their own ambitions, and an ancient evil waits beyond the edges of the map.
When every righteous path has failed, the Chapel of the Holy Expediency takes the roads no decent soul would dare to follow. Its congregation of cursed monsters and convicted heretics will cross every line, commit every sin and turn even the simplest mission into a disastrous bloodbath – all in service of the greater good.
Now the hapless Brother Diaz must somehow bind the worst of the worst to a higher cause. Their task is almost absurd: put a thief on the throne of Troy, unite a divided church and prepare for the approaching apocalypse.
But salvation rests with people the world has already condemned. As monsters, heretics and reluctant allies collide, Joe Abercrombie delivers a wickedly dark epic filled with brutal action, moral compromise and razor-edged humour.
This opening volume launches a new grimdark fantasy series about a continent on the brink, a crumbling faith and the deeply unsuitable band who may be its only hope.
”When only dark paths lead towards the light – paths the righteous dare not tread – the Chapel of the Holy Expediency steps forward.”
