They say Black Dow’s killed more men than winter—and he’s not done climbing the hill of skulls to keep his throne.
In The Heroes, Joe Abercrombie delivers a brutally brilliant war story set over three blood-drenched days, where glory is a lie, and survival is its own kind of victory. Armies clash in the mud-soaked North, each led by kings, killers, and cowards disguised as heroes.
At the heart of it all lies a worthless hill in a forgotten valley… and everyone’s willing to die for it.
With razor-sharp wit, unforgettable characters, and moral shades darker than night, this standalone entry in the First Law world proves once again: war doesn’t make heroes. It makes survivors.
And sometimes, that’s worse.
