Half the World (Shattered Sea)

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BUZZFEEDÂ â€¢ ALEX AWARD WINNER â€¢ New York Times bestselling author Joe Abercrombieâ€™s thrilling series continues in the follow-up to Half a King, which George R. R. Martin hailed as â€œa fast-paced tale of betrayal and revenge that grabbed me from page 1 and refused to let go.â€

â€œThe Shattered Seas trilogy has worked its way into a very exclusive group of my favorite fantasy novels of all time.â€â€”James Dashner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maze Runner

Sometimes a girl is touched by Mother War.

Thorn is such a girl. Desperate to avenge her dead father, she lives to fight. But she has been named a murderer by the very man who trained her to kill.

Sometimes a woman becomes a warrior.

She finds herself caught up in the schemes of Father Yarvi, Gettlandâ€™s deeply cunning minister. Crossing half the world to find allies against the ruthless High King, she learns harsh lessons of blood and deceit.

Sometimes a warrior becomes a weapon.

Beside her on the journey is Brand, a young warrior who hates to kill, a failure in his eyes and hers, but with one chance at redemption.

And weapons are made for one purpose.

Will Thorn forever be a pawn in the hands of the powerful, or can she carve her own path?

Praise for Joe Abercrombieâ€™s Half a King

â€œHalf a King is my favorite book by Joe Abercrombie so far, and thatâ€™s saying something.â€â€”Patrick Rothfuss

â€œAs in all Abercrombieâ€™s books, friends turn out to be enemies, enemies turn out to be friends; the line between good and evil is murky indeed; and nothing goes quite as we expect. With eye-popping plot twists and rollicking good action, Half a King is definitely a full adventure.â€â€”Rick Riordan

â€œEnthralling! An up-all-night read.â€â€”Robin Hobb

â€œPolished and sharp, perhaps his most technically proficient novel yet . . . I dare you to read the first chapter and try not to turn the next page.â€â€”Brent Weeks

â€œHalf a King can be summed up in a single word: masterpiece. Itâ€™s a coming-of-age story. Itâ€™s a Viking saga. Itâ€™s a revenge tale and family drama and the return of the prodigal son. But most of all, itâ€™s this: a short time alongside people as weak and blundering as we are and, in the midst of it all, as heroic. Far too short a time, as it turns out. What a wonderful book.â€â€”Myke Cole

â€œHalf a King is full of all the adventure Iâ€™ve come to expect from Abercrombie and a tenderness I never knew he had.â€â€”Sam Sykes
