Book description
'Joe Abercrombie is doing some terrific work' George R. R. Martin,
author of GAME OF THRONES.
They burned her home.
They stole her brother and sister.
But vengeance is following.
Shy 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 stepfather 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.
Their 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 alliance with Nicomo Cosca, infamous soldier of fortune,
and his feckless lawyer Temple, two men no one should ever have to trust...
The past never stays buried... Joe Abercrombie is a freelance film
editor living in Bath with his family.
