The Blade Itself (The First Law Trilogy Book 1)

The Blade Itself, the first novel in Joe Abercrombie’s acclaimed First Law Trilogy, introduces a brutal and darkly humorous world where heroes and villains blur together.

Barbarian Logen Ninefingers is out of luck and out of friends. Arrogant noble Jezal dan Luthar dreams only of glory, unaware that war is coming. Crippled torturer Inquisitor Glokta hunts treason through a corrupt government, while the mysterious wizard Bayaz—perhaps the legendary First of the Magi—entangles them all in deadly schemes.

Full of violence, intrigue, and razor-sharp wit, The Blade Itself is a gripping tale of power, betrayal, and survival in a world where no one is truly innocent.
