Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling first book in Joe Abercrombie's The Age of Madness Trilogy where the age of the machine dawns, but the age of magic refuses to die.
The chimneys of industry rise over Adua and the world seethes with new opportunities. But old scores run deep as ever.
On the blood-soaked borders of Angland, Leo dan Brock struggles to win fame on the battlefield, and defeat the marauding armies of Stour Nightfall. He hopes for help from the crown. But King Jezal's son, the feckless Prince Orso, is a man who specializes in disappointments.
Savine dan Glokta—socialite, investor, and daughter of the most feared man in the Union—plans to claw her way to the top of the slag-heap of society by any means necessary. But the slums boil over with a rage that all the money in the world cannot control.
The age of the machine dawns, but the age of magic refuses to die. With the help of the mad hillwoman Isern-i-Phail, Rikke struggles to control the blessing, or the curse, of the Long Eye. Glimpsing the future is one thing, but with the guiding hand of the First of the Magi still pulling the strings, changing it will be quite another . . .

Customer Reviews
World Class Voice Acting
Great book, outstanding voice acting. It really pulls you into the story. If you like GofT, I think you will enjoy this one!
Fantastic Writing, Fantastic Production
The book itself is vivid and exciting, with wonderful characters. Descriptions are pointed and potent with grim and ferocious fights along with relatable and understandable character insights.
The audio is crisp and clean, read beautifully. The voice work is nice, with distinct voices for each character, all well done.
I cannot recommend highly enough
Exciting, brutal, misdirection… love it!
To keep it short and sweet. This checks all the boxes for me. It’s not overly fantastical, and leads you to believe that there could be plausibility to the worlds magic. The brutality of war, is represented in it’s, absolute nature. The characters are all very well written and with out much effort, you being to understand and empathize with all the characters. There’s no good side or bad side… really. Good writer does this because they’re able to keep you wondering on what the outcome could be, and whoever comes out on top, it wouldn’t disappoint. Lastly, the narrator for these novels, is top notch and I can fathom listening to these books with anyone else reading them. He’s that good! Big fan!
