Joe Abercrombie is the New York Times bestselling author of Half a King, Half the World, Red Country and the First Law trilogy: The Blade Itself, Before They Are Hanged, and Last Argument of Kings. He spent ten years as a freelance film editor, and is now a full-time writer who lives in Bath, England, with his wife, two daughters, and son.
“The Shattered Seas trilogy has worked its way into a very
exclusive group of my favorite fantasy novels of all time. The
pacing is perfect, the characters deep and true and real, the world
rich and authentic, the plot full of twists and turns. Perhaps my
favorite part is that no one is purely good or evil: Each and every
character has layers upon layers that are a joy to discover. I tore
through all three books and truly hope that someday Joe Abercrombie
returns to this magnificent, captivating world.”—James Dashner, #1
