Krivnja oštrice: Prvi zakon - knjiga prva

Joe Abercrombie

British writer Joe Abercrombie in the first book of the cult trilogy The First Law presents us with the company of the most peculiar characters of contemporary fantastic literature. The world of the First Law continues with the novels Before Their Hanging

Logen Nine-Fingered, the name that mothers fear for children, the most bloodthirsty and most notorious bully of the Far North, has finally spent all his lives. After countless battles, each of which took away a part of his soul, it seems that this warrior known as the Bloody Nine will meet a fitting end and die killing, leaving behind only bad songs and dead friends and enemies.

Jezal is the best swordsman in the Union, but that's where his excellence ends. He is a self-obsessed immature scoundrel whose world begins and ends with fencing tournaments. But battles are being fought on the battlefields of the icy North, and war will also knock on Jezal's door. Sand dan Glokta, the cripple and torturer of the infamous royal Inquisition, is hated by the whole world. Once a famous Union officer, he survived years of imprisonment and torture, and now he is returning a favor to fate by becoming an inquisitor and stalker.

There is also Bayaz, the first among magicians, great in sublime art and learned in deep wisdom, yet such a petty soul, a vengeful and vicious man, a manipulator obsessed with revenge. But the story does not end with these "heroes" and their unique characters. On their way, many bloody battles will take place, many betrayals will be committed and the most unexpected turns will occur, and despite the chronic lack of morals, the story does not lack women or wine. If you're a fan of full-blooded unpredictable fantasy and vivid, superbly characterized characters, then you're holding a book in your hands that was written to your liking.
