Description
Red Country - Joe Abercrombie
Red Country by Joe Abercrombie is a gritty standalone fantasy novel set in the World of the First Law, combining brutal fantasy, frontier adventure and Abercrombie's trademark morally complex characters.
Shy South returns home to find her farm destroyed and her younger brother and sister taken. Determined to bring them back, she sets out across the dangerous Far Country with her seemingly mild stepfather Lamb.
Their search takes them through lawless settlements, barren plains and towns gripped by gold fever, where old enemies, mercenaries and hidden identities make survival increasingly difficult.
Dark, violent and sharply written, Red Country blends epic fantasy with the atmosphere of a western while expanding the larger First Law world with familiar faces and unforgettable new characters.
