Get ready! Early May 2025 will see the arrival of ‘The Devils,’ the highly anticipated new book from bestselling dark fantasy master Joe Abercrombie. This will be the first installment in a brand-new series, introducing a cast of compelling anti-heroes as they embark on what promises to be an exciting and brutally bloody journey.
Fans of Joe Abercrombie know him best for his acclaimed First Law series, a world of bloody battles, morally grey nobles, intricate political machinations, and shocking betrayals that have earned him a legion of devoted readers. You can find reviews of all his books here.
Here’s a glimpse of what to expect from ‘The Devils.’
Europe stares into the abyss.
Plague and famine stalk the land, monsters lurk in every shadow and greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions. One one thing is certain: The elves will come again, and they will eat everyone.
Only the darkest path leads towards the light. A path the righteous will not dare to tread.
And so, deep beneath the sacred splendour of the Celestial Palace lies the secret Chapel of the Holy Expediency. For its congregation of convicted monsters there are no sins that have not been committed, no lines that will not be crossed and no mission that cannot be turned into a disastrous bloodbath.
When you’re headed through hell, you need the Devils on your side.
Coming 6th May UK, 13th May US
