Best Served Cold

Author: Joe Abercrombie

Revenge is a dish best served cold, and Monza Murcatto’s vengeance is glacial. Once the most feared mercenary in Duke Orso’s employ, she’s now left for dead, her brother murdered beside her. Surviving against all odds, Monza vows to kill the seven men responsible for her downfall. As she assembles a motley crew of misfits and cutthroats, each with their own agenda, the line between justice and madness blurs. Abercrombie’s gritty tale of betrayal and retribution pulls no punches, delivering a visceral journey through a world where honor is scarce and loyalty comes at a steep price.

When you have a reputation for being a lunatic, you can get away with a lot.
