A little hatred

A New Age dawns in the Lowlands. The age of magic is dying, and the age of machines arrives in the Mortal Realm. Men forget the First Law. The world seethes with strange opportunities, conflicts, and intrigues. New financial empires rise in the capital’s palaces. The slums boil with fury—all the money in the world cannot hold back the revolution. “Joe Abercrombie can easily be called the most vivid fantasy writer of his generation, and the brilliant start to a new trilogy was compelling proof of that.” — *Fantasy News*“Abercrombie continues to be the best of them all... Fasten your seatbelts!” — Robin Hobb“Joe Abercrombie is so good he could raise the bar for any literary genre.
