Description
CONSPIRACY. BETRAYAL. REBELLION.
Peace is just another kind of battlefield...
In a world where unrest spreads like a plague, The Trouble With Peace by Joe Abercrombie unveils the subtle and overt battles waged in the quest for power. This second instalment in the gripping Age of Madness trilogy plunges readers into a land on the cusp of transformation, where society teeters on the brink of upheaval.
In the shadows, the Breakers plot to liberate the common folk from their oppression. Yesterday's heroes, now sidelined, fester with grievances, while the noble elite squabble for personal gain. Amidst this turmoil, the King of the Union struggles to navigate the treacherous political landscape, only to find his adversaries and his debts multiplying.
The very foundations of the old order are being swept away. Yet those who seek to seize control will soon discover that alliances are fleeting, friendships are fragile, and peace is never guaranteed.
Second in the Age of Madness trilogy, The Trouble With Peace is revolutionising the fantasy genre, offering a raw and riveting narrative that transcends traditional bounds.
