Springtime in Styria. And that means war.
There have been nineteen years of blood. 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.

Critics Review
Highly recommended - a funny, finely-wrought, terrifically energetic work of high fantasy. Seek it out – Joe HillHighly recommended - a funny, finely-wrought, terrifically energetic work of high fantasy. Seek it outJoe Abercrombie’s 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 … Best Served Cold? Modern fantasy doesn’t get much better than this * SFX *
