On the Edge of the Blade. Book 1 by Joe Abercrombie – Ukrainian Epic Fantasy

"On the Edge of the Blade" is the gripping introduction to Joe Abercrombie’s celebrated First Law Trilogy, now available in Ukrainian. The novel thrusts readers into the midst of looming war between the Union and the barbarian North, threatened by the ruthless King Bethod and beset from the South by the vicious Gurkish. As the enigmatic First of the Magi, Bayaz, emerges from obscurity to rally the Union, a motley team assembles: the wild Northman Logen Ninefingers, the indomitable slave Ferro, and the self-absorbed officer Jezal. Meanwhile, the Inquisition’s sinister chief Sult and his crippled torturer Glokta vie for power in a world teetering between chaos and magic. Abercrombie’s dark, witty prose and rich characters deliver a gritty, realistic fantasy hailed as essential for fans of epic and grimdark fiction.
