Perfect for you if...

You love grimdark fantasy with complex characters who are brilliant and terrible in equal measure.
You want political intrigue, battlefield brutality, and magic all woven together without apology.
You're a returning Joe Abercrombie reader or someone who heard his name as shorthand for fantasy done right.

Maybe not for you if...

You need heroes to root for. These characters scheme, betray, and compromise their way through the story.
You prefer fast-paced plots. Abercrombie builds atmosphere and consequence at his own deliberate pace.
You're bothered by graphic violence, sexual content, and bleak moral landscapes.

About this book

The first book in The Age of Madness Trilogy, set in a world where industrial advancement spreads across Adua while magic persists. The story follows multiple characters navigating this changing landscape. Leo dan Brock fights on Angland's borders, seeking to defeat Stour Nightfall's armies and gain recognition, hoping for support from the crown. However, King Jezal's son, Prince Orso, proves unreliable. Savine dan Glokta, a socialite and investor connected to one of the Union's most powerful figures, pursues advancement through society by any available means, even as unrest grows in the slums beyond her control. Rikke, aided by the hillwoman Isern-i-Phail, grapples with the Long Eye—an ability to glimpse the future that may be blessing or curse. Changing the future proves difficult when the First of the Magi continues to exert influence over events.
