The ruthless Grand Duke Orso is locked in a vicious struggle with the squabbling League of Eight, and between them they have bled the land white.

Her victories have made her popular - a shade too popular for her employers taste. Betrayed, thrown down a mountain and left for dead, Murcattos reward is a broken body and a burning hunger for vengeance. Whatever the cost, seven men must die.Her allies include Styrias least reliable drunkard, Styrias most treacherous poisoner, a mass-murderer obsessed with numbers and a Northman who just wants to do the right thing. Her enemies number the better half of the nation. And thats all before the most dangerous man in the world is dispatched to hunt her down and finish the job Duke Orso started...Springtime in Styria. And that means revenge.

Seek it outJoe Abercrombies Best Served Cold is a bloody and relentless epic of vengeance and obsession in the grand tradition, a kind of splatterpunk sword n sorcery Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas by way of Moorcock . . . The battles are vivid and visceral, the action brutal, the pace headlong, and Abercrombie piles the betrayals, reversals, and plot twists one atop another to keep us guessing how it will all come out. This is his best book yet * George R.R. Martin *Overall this is an immediately rewarding experience. There are reveals in the final third that are unexpected yet satisfyingly logical . . .
