From the acclaimed author of The First Law trilogy, Joe Abercrombie, comes Half King Shattered Sea, a thrilling and immersive fantasy epic that transports readers to a realm of war, violence, betrayal, and magic.
Half King Shattered Sea is set in the aftermath of a cataclysmic war that has left the world in ruins. The once-mighty kingdom of Gettland is now a shattered archipelago, its people struggling to survive amidst the chaos. In this perilous landscape, a new breed of warlord has emerged, known as the Shattered Sea Kings. These ruthless and ambitious leaders seek to claim the remnants of the kingdom for themselves, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
At the heart of Half King Shattered Sea is a cast of compelling and complex characters. There's Yarvi, a young warrior who is forced to confront his own inner demons as he battles to protect his people; Brand, a seasoned mercenary who has seen the horrors of war firsthand; Thrinny, a fierce and independent woman who is determined to carve out her own destiny; and Calder, a mysterious and enigmatic figure who holds the key to the kingdom's future.
As these characters navigate the treacherous waters of the Shattered Sea, they must confront not only their enemies but also their own personal challenges. They must grapple with the horrors of war, the complexities of loyalty, and the weight of their own choices. Through it all, Abercrombie's trademark dark humor and gritty realism shine through, creating a world that is both brutal and compelling.

One of the most striking aspects of Half King Shattered Sea is the intricate and complex political system that governs the Shattered Sea. The Shattered Sea Kings are constantly vying for power and influence, and they will use any means necessary to achieve their goals. This creates a world that is constantly on the brink of war, where alliances are fragile and betrayals are common.
But amidst the chaos and violence, there is also hope. The people of the Shattered Sea are resilient and resourceful, and they are determined to rebuild their lives. They are a people who have faced unimaginable hardships, but they have never lost their spirit. They are a people who are willing to fight for a better future, no matter what the cost.
