Red Country - Joe Abercrombie

Descriere

nAbercrombie writes fantasy like no one else. - The Guardian nThey burned her home. nThey stole her brother and sister. nBut vengeance is following. nShy South hoped to bury her bloody past and ride away smiling, but she'll have to sharpen up some bad old ways to get her family back, and she's not a woman to flinch from what needs doing. She sets off in pursuit with only a pair of oxen and her cowardly old step father Lamb for company. But it turns out Lamb's buried a bloody past of his own. And out in the lawless Far Country the past never stays buried. n nTheir journey will take them across the barren plains to a frontier town gripped by gold fever, through feud, duel and massacre, high into the unmapped mountains to a reckoning with the Ghosts. Even worse, it will force them into an alliance with Nicomo Cosca, infamous soldier of fortune, and his feckless lawyer Temple, two men no one should ever have to trust . . . nRED COUNTRY takes place in the same world as the First Law trilogy, Best Served Cold, andThe Heroes. This novel also represents the return of Logen Ninefingers, one of Abercrombie's most beloved characters. n nFirst Law Trilogy nThe Blade Itself nBefore They Are Hanged nLast Argument of Kings n nNovels in the First Law world nBest Served Cold nThe Heroes nRed Countryn
