The Great Leveller Collection 3 Books Set by Joe Abercrombie (Best Served Cold, The Heroes and Red Country) (First Law World) by Joe Abercrombie

The Great Leveller Collection brings together three books by Joe Abercrombie, set in the First Law World: Best Served Cold, The Heroes and Red Country. Across these stories, long-running conflict, shifting loyalties and personal histories shape events, from power struggles between rulers and rival factions to the brutal realities of war.

The collection moves from a land worn down by years of bloodshed and political manoeuvring, to a battle that will decide the fate of the North, and then to a pursuit across the lawless Far Country where buried pasts refuse to stay hidden. Each book presents its own stakes and setting, while keeping the focus on violence, intrigue and the consequences of what people are willing to do.

Synopses

Best Served Cold

After nineteen years of blood, Grand Duke Orso is locked in a vicious struggle with the League of Eight, and the land has been bled white. As armies march and cities burn, bankers, priests and older, darker powers work behind the scenes in a deadly contest to decide who will be king.

The Heroes

Over three bloody days of battle, the fate of the North will be decided. With both sides riddled by intrigues, feuds and petty jealousies, it may not be the noblest hearts or the strongest arms that prevail. Three men, one battle, and no heroes.

Red Country

Shy South wants to leave her bloody past behind, but must fall back on old ways to get her family back. She sets out to pursue her family’s killers with only a pair of oxen and her stepfather Lamb. In the lawless Far Country, Lamb’s own past is not as buried as it seems.
