But as he's discovering, old habits die really, really hard indeed. Vain, shallow, selfish and self-obsessed, the biggest blot on his horizon is having to get out of bed in the morning to train with obsessive and boring old men.Īnd Logen Ninefingers, an infamous warrior with a bloody past, is about to wake up in a hole in the snow with plans to settle a blood feud with Bethod, the new King of the Northmen, once and for all - ideally by running away from it. Nobleman, dashing officer and would-be fencing champion Captain Jezal dan Luthar is living a life of ease by cheating his friends at cards. He has also written the Shattered Sea trilogy for young (and old) adults Half a King, Half the World, and Half a War. Inquisitor Glokta, a crippled and increasingly bitter relic of the last war, former fencing champion turned torturer extraordinaire, is trapped in a twisted and broken body - not that he allows it to distract him from his daily routine of torturing smugglers. Joe is best known for the First Law Trilogy The Blade Itself, Before They Are Hanged and Last Argument of Kings and the stand-alone novels in the same world Best Served Cold, The Heroes, and Red Country.
