Heroes (First Law World 2)

An action-packed fantasy novel, full of brutality, black humour and strong characterisation. Abercrombie is one of the most successful and critically acclaimed fantasy novelists of his generation. '"The Heroes" is an indictment of war and the duplicity that corrupts men striving for total power: bloody and violent but never gratuitously so, it's imbued with cutting humour, acute characterisation and world-weary wisdom about the weaknesses of the human race.
