The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie
The First Law Trilogy · Book 1 of 3
Three deeply flawed antiheroes. One brutal world where old habits die very hard.
Inquisitor Glokta is a crippled relic of the last war, a former fencing champion turned torturer who finds dark humour in his own ruined body and the ugly work that fills his days.
Captain Jezal dan Luthar is a vain young nobleman and would-be fencing champion. He prefers cheating his friends at cards to training, and his greatest hardship is getting out of bed to face another boring lesson.
Logen Ninefingers is an infamous warrior with a bloody past. After waking in a hole in the snow, he plans to escape an old blood feud rather than finish it – but running from violence has never come easily.
Then Bayaz enters the picture. The mysterious old man may be the most powerful mage alive, and his plans pull all three men into a larger game where heroism is scarce, motives are murky and everyone has something to hide.
Joe Abercrombie’s grimdark classic blends epic fantasy, razor-sharp wit and moral complexity through characters who are unforgettable precisely because none of them are cleanly heroic.
’Delightfully twisted and evil.’ – The Guardian
’Highly recommended … seek it out.’ – Joe Hill
”Old habits die really, really hard. Especially when Bayaz gets involved.”
