The Trouble with Peace - Joe Abercrombie

\nThe sequel to the New York Times bestselling A Little Hatred from epic fantasy master Joe Abercrombie. \nConspiracy. Betrayal. Rebellion. \nPeace is just another kind of battlefield . . . \nSavine dan Glokta, once Adua's most powerful investor, finds her judgement, fortune and reputation in tatters. But she still has all her ambitions, and no scruple will be permitted to stand in her way. \nFor heroes like Leo dan Brock and Stour Nightfall, only happy with swords drawn, peace is an ordeal to end as soon as possible. But grievances must be nursed, power seized and allies gathered first, while Rikke must master the power of the Long Eye . . . before it kills her. \nUnrest worms into every layer of society. The Breakers still lurk in the shadows, plotting to free the common man from his shackles, while noblemen bicker for their own advantage. Orso struggles to find a safe path through the maze of knives that is politics, only for his enemies, and his debts, to multiply. \nThe old ways are swept aside, and the old leaders with them, but those who would seize the reins of power will find no alliance, no friendship, and no peace lasts forever. \nFor more from Joe Abercrombie, check out: \nThe Age of MadnessA Little HatredThe Trouble With Peace \nThe First Law TrilogyThe Blade ItselfBefore They Are HangedLast Argument of Kings \nBest Served ColdThe HeroesRed Country \nThe Shattered Sea TrilogyHalf a KingHalf a WorldHalf a War
