Description
In the war-torn land of Styria, Monza Murcatto—the legendary mercenary known as the Snake of Talins—is betrayed by her employer, the ruthless Grand Duke Orso, and left for dead. Driven by a burning hunger for vengeance, she assembles an unlikely band of allies: a disgraced drunkard, a master poisoner, a calculating murderer, and a principled Northman, all united in a deadly quest to eliminate seven men who orchestrated her downfall. As armies clash and political powers scheme behind the scenes, Murcatto must navigate a treacherous landscape where bankers, priests, and darker forces vie for control of the kingdom. But her path to revenge grows more perilous when the most dangerous man in the world is sent to finish what the Duke started. Joe Abercrombie's masterful tale of ambition, betrayal, and retribution proves that in a world of blood and gold, revenge is the most costly currency of all.
