Best Served Cold: Joe Abercrombie

War may be hell, but for Monza Murcatto, the Snake of Talins, the most feared and famous mercenary in Grand Duke Orso`s employ, it`s a damn good way of making money too.
Her victories have made her popular - a shade too popular for her employer`s taste. Betrayed, thrown down a mountain and left for dead, Monza has only one thing left to live for: Revenge.
Her allies include Styria`s least reliable drunkard, Styria`s most treacherous poisoner, a mass-murderer obsessed with numbers and a barbarian who just wants to do the right thing. Her enemies number the better half of the nation.
And that`s all before the most dangerous man in the world is dispatched to hunt her down and finish the job Duke Orso started...
