Overview
Enter the smoke-wreathed world of Joe Abercrombie's Age of Madness trilogy, the acclaimed follow-up to The First Law. This three-book paperback set follows a new generation forced to navigate revolution, war, and the dying embers of magic as industry reshapes their world. Packed with morally grey heroes, biting wit, and relentless political intrigue, this collection delivers everything fans of grimdark epic fantasy demand, in one satisfying paperback bundle perfect for newcomers and collectors alike.
About the Books
A Little Hatred opens the trilogy as the chimneys of industry rise over Adua and old grudges resurface among a new cast of would-be heroes, including Leo dan Brock, Savine dan Glokta, and Rikke, each wrestling with legacy, ambition, and the uncanny curse of the Long Eye. The Trouble With Peace escalates the stakes: Savine's fortune collapses even as her cunning sharpens, sword-obsessed warriors chafe against fragile peace, and Rikke must master a power that threatens to consume her. Simmering resentment among the common people boils toward open rebellion. The Wisdom of Crowds brings the trilogy to its explosive conclusion as the Breakers and Burners tear down the old order in the streets of Adua, forcing former nobles to survive a world turned upside down. Across all three volumes, Abercrombie weaves multiple points of view into a propulsive, blackly comic saga of class struggle, family betrayal, and the terrible cost of change. Set generations after the events of The First Law, the trilogy stands on its own while rewarding long-time readers with familiar faces and consequences decades in the making. Expect visceral battle sequences, sharp political manoeuvring, and characters whose loyalties shift with every turn of the page. This is grimdark fantasy at its finest: intelligent, unflinching, and often very funny despite the darkness at its core.
About the Author
Joe Abercrombie is a New York Times bestselling British fantasy author renowned for his gritty, character-driven First Law universe.

Known for morally complex characters, sardonic humour, and unflinching depictions of violence and politics, Abercrombie has become one of modern fantasy's most influential and widely read voices, with numerous bestselling novels set across his richly imagined world.
