With too many masters and too little time, Superior Glokta is fighting a different kind of war.A secret struggle in which no one is safe, and no one can be trusted. Logen Ninefingers might only have one more fight in him but it’s going to be a big one.

Last Argument of Kings - The end is coming.

A device which could put an end to war, to the army of Eaters in the South, to the invasion of Shanka from the North-but only if it can be found, and only if its power can be controlled… And to the east, a small band of malefactors travels to the edge of the world to reclaim a device from history with tremendous destructive potential. In the heat-ravaged south, the Gurkish are massing to assault the city of Dagoska, defended by Inquisitor Glokta.

Before They Are Hanged - Bitter and merciless war is coming to the frozen north.

Their lives are about to be a whole lot more difficult, because of Bayaz, a bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, who could be the First of the Magi or a spectacular fraud… And Logen Ninefingers is an infamous warrior with a bloody past. Captain Jezal dan Luthar is living a life of ease by cheating his friends at cards.

The Blade Itself - Inquisitor Glokta is a crippled and increasingly bitter relic of the last war, former fencing champion turned torturer extraordinaire.

First, we take a look at the publication order for the series, then at the chronological order. The First Law series is composed of multiple trilogies and standalone novels. The story follows the fortunes and misfortunes of characters inhabiting this world and navigating through these and other conflicts. In the South, the Union and the Gurkish Empire are in a conflict for the control of the Union City of Dagoska.

In the North, The Union (which contains multiple provinces) is at war with The Northmen, a rough alliance of several northern tribes. The First Law series is set in an epic fantasy world at war, reminiscent of medieval-era Europe and the greater Mediterranean world, called the Circle of the World. Written by British author Joe Abercrombie, The First Law is a fantasy series consisting of two trilogy, three stand-alone novels, and a number of short stories set in the same world.
