Sharp Ends: Stories from the World of the First Law

Sharp Ends by Joe Abercrombie is a unique collection of stories and exclusive short fiction by the master of grimdark fantasy, set in the world of The First Law.

Colonel Craw and his band of hard-bitten fighters set out in search of a mysterious artifact far beyond Crinna — only to run into one rather significant problem: no one actually knows what they are supposed to be looking for. At the same time, one of Styria’s most dangerous thieves, Shevedieh, tries to navigate disaster after disaster alongside her best friend and, at the same time, her enemy, Javre, a former priestess known as the Lioness of Hoskopp.
The incomparable Colonel Glokta once again finds himself forced to clean up other people’s mistakes, while the warrior and chieftain Bethod desperately tries to bring peace to the North. But standing in their way is a dark and powerful obstacle — the most feared man in the North, the legendary warrior Logen Ninefingers, who knows one simple truth all too well: you can never have too many knives.
