Half a King
Joe Abercrombie
Prince Yarvi, born with a crippled hand and a mind as sharp as any blade, is thrust into a brutal world of betrayal and political intrigue after his father's murder. Driven by an oath to reclaim his stolen throne, he must navigate treacherous seas and even more treacherous alliances, proving that intellect and cunning can be as potent as brute strength. As Yarvi gathers a fellowship of outcasts, he learns that the path to vengeance is fraught with deception, forcing him to become the very thing he despises to survive. Joe Abercrombie masterfully crafts a gripping tale of a reluctant hero's rise, where the lines between friend and foe blur, and every victory comes at a steep price.

Alongside a reluctant warrior haunted by his own failures, Thorn confronts harsh lessons of blood and deceit, questioning whether she will remain a pawn or forge her own destiny.
