The Devils by Joe Abercrombie

An Instant New York Times, USA Today, and Indie Bestseller.

Now available in paperback, so pull up a chair by the window. Let the salt air drift in. This one’s a keeper.

From New York Times bestselling author Joe Abercrombie comes an epic fantasy packed with dark humor, ragged heroes, and a journey that’s as bloody as it is brilliant. Holy work sometimes requires unholy deeds.

Brother Diaz arrives at the Sacred City expecting a commendation and a righteous assignment. What he gets instead? A flock of unrepentant murderers, practitioners of ghastly magic, and a few honest-to-goodness monsters. The mission ahead will demand the worst from all of them, all in the name of the greater good.

Elves prowl the borders, hungry for flesh. Greedy princes scheme for comfort and power. And in the middle of it all, one weary monk discovers that if you’re walking straight into hell, it helps to have the devils on your side.

Abercrombie fans will find everything they love here, that razor-sharp wit, the morally murky characters you can’t help rooting for, and action that never lets up. Newcomers, this is a fine place to begin.

It’s the perfect companion for a gray, drizzly afternoon in the cove, when the wind is up and you’d rather be lost in a story than out on the Marginal Way.

Come linger over the pages. We think you’ll want to stay a while.
