Half a King

Author: Joe Abercrombie

Yarvi never wanted to be king. Born with a crippled hand, he was destined for the Ministry. But fate had other plans. When his father and brother are murdered, Yarvi is thrust onto the Black Chair of Gettland. Betrayed and left for dead, he must navigate a world of treachery and deceit to reclaim his throne. With unlikely allies and newfound strength, Yarvi discovers that a cunning mind can be the sharpest weapon of all. Abercrombie’s gritty tale of revenge and self-discovery will keep you turning pages late into the night.

Better to be tricked than dead.
