From the New York Times bestselling author of A Little Hatred comes a stunning fantasy novel that finds the world in an unstoppable revolution where heroes have nothing left to lose as darkness and destruction overtake everything.

Chaos. Fury. Destruction.

The Great Change is upon us . . .

Some say that to change the world you must first burn it down. Now that belief will be tested in the crucible of revolution: the Breakers and Burners have seized the levers of power, the smoke of riots has replaced the smog of industry, and all must submit to the wisdom of crowds.

With nothing left to lose, Citizen Brock is determined to become a new hero for the new age, while Citizeness Savine must turn her talents from profit to survival before she can claw her way to redemption. Orso will find that when the world is turned upside down, no one is lower than a monarch. And in the bloody North, Rikke and her fragile Protectorate are running out of allies . . . while Black Calder gathers his forces and plots his vengeance.

The banks have fallen, the sun of the Union has been torn down, and in the darkness behind the scenes, the threads of the Weaver's ruthless plan are slowly being drawn together . . .

"A master of his craft." โ€”Forbes

"No one writes with the seismic scope or primal intensity of Joe Abercrombie." โ€”Pierce Brown

Joe Abercrombie was born in Lancaster in 1974, spent much of his youth in imaginary worlds, and left school with a good idea of how to make stuff up. After graduating from Manchester University he worked as a TV editor, but he never stopped making stuff up, and his first book, The Blade Itself, was published in 2006. He has since written eight more novels and a collection of stories in his First Law and Shattered Sea series. He lives in Bath with his wife Lou and their three children Grace, Eve and Teddy, and makes stuff up full-time.

Reviews

"A master of the genre."โ€”Lev Grossman, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Abercrombie's satisfying plotting and expert subversion of genre expectations are sure to please. Readers will be gripped."โ€”Publishers Weekly on The Trouble With Peace "Abercrombie squeezes your heart till it matches his beat. No one writes with the seismic scope or primal intensity of Joe Abercrombie."โ€”Pierce Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author, on A Little Hatred "Abercrombie continues to do what he does best . . . Buckle your seat belts for this one . . . . A vivid and jolting tale."โ€”Robin Hobb, New York Times bestselling author, on A Little Hatred "Highly recommended - a funny, finely-wrought, terrifically energetic work of high fantasy. Seek it out."โ€”Joe Hill on A Little Hatred "Say one thing for Joe Abercrombie, say that he's a master of his craft."โ€”Forbes on A Little Hatred "A Little Hatred is Abercrombie at his very best: witty, wise, and whip-smart. Masterfully plotted . . . . I had high hopes for this book, and it exceed them all."โ€”Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld, on A Little Hatred "Brutal, unforgiving, and terribly fun. Everything awesome readers have come to expect from Joe Abercrombie."โ€”Brian McClellan, author of Sins of Empire, on A Little Hatred "With expert craft, Abercrombie lays the groundwork for another thrilling trilogy."โ€”Publishers Weekly (starred review) on A Little Hatred "Rife with emotion with wit to spare, both honed to an effortlessly fine edge. A Little Hatred is the joy of watching a master of the craft with his tools at their sharpest."โ€”Sam Sykes, author of Seven Blades in Black, on A Little Hatred "Joe Abercrombie's powerful voice raises the bar in any literary genre. Fantasy fans are beyond fortunate he chose this one."โ€”Myke Cole, author of The Armored Saint, on A Little Hatred "Abercrombie unerringly juggles a large cast of multifaceted, morally ambiguous characters, each embroiled in their own complicated story."โ€”Booklist (starred review) on A Little Hatred "A critical, compelling epic fantasy loaded with wonderfully drawn characters, the bloodletting tempered with sharp social commentary and a touch of satire . . . . It doesn't feel like a stretch to say Abercrombie's on his way to writing another masterpiece of epic fantasy."โ€”B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog on A Little Hatred "A Little Hatred may be the most accomplished work from a writer who many already consider a master."โ€”SFF World on A Little Hatred "[Abercrombie] might have his most important series of novels yet."โ€”Locus on A Little Hatred "Bloody and relentless."โ€”George R. R. Martin on Best Served Cold "Bold and authentically original."โ€”Jeff VanderMeer on The Blade Itself "If you're fond of bloodless, turgid fantasy with characters as thin as newspaper and as boring as plaster saints, Joe Abercrombie is really going to ruin your day. A long career for this guy would be a gift to our genre."โ€”Scott Lynch on The Blade Itself Expand reviews
