Description

Immerse yourself in the gripping and gritty world of The First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie, now exquisitely presented in a stunning boxed set. This critically acclaimed fantasy trilogy takes readers on an unforgettable journey through a richly detailed universe brimming with dark humour, political intrigue, and relentless action.

The trilogy follows the intertwined destinies of several complex and intriguing characters. Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian warrior, struggles to shed his gory past and find a new purpose. Jezal dan Luthar, a vain and self-centred nobleman, yearns for glory on the battlefield but finds himself embroiled in perilous quests that challenge his beliefs and ideals. Meanwhile, Inquisitor Glokta, a crippled and cunning torturer, navigates the treacherous corridors of power in the Union, beset by conspiracies and betrayal at every turn.

Throughout the trilogy, Abercrombie masterfully deconstructs classic fantasy tropes, delivering a narrative that is as thought-provoking as it is enthralling. The reader is drawn into a world where heroes are flawed, and villains are disturbingly human, a world where moral ambiguity reigns supreme.

The Blade Itself – The story begins with an explosive introduction to the vivid ensemble of characters and the myriad conflicts that will shape their destinies.
Before They Are Hanged – The stakes escalate dramatically as the characters face gruelling trials and uncover dark secrets that threaten to upheave their world.
