The Blade Itself

Inquisitor Glokta, a crippled and increasingly bitter relic of the last war, is trapped in a twisted body but continues his daily routine of torturing smugglers. Nobleman Captain Jezal dan Luthar lives a life of ease, cheating friends at cards, while Logen Ninefingers, an infamous warrior, wakes up in a hole in the snow, planning to settle a blood feud with Bethod, the new King of the Northmen. As old habits die hard, Bayaz, a bald old man with a terrible temper, complicates their lives.

Before They Are Hanged

Bitter war is coming to the frozen north, and the Union army is unprepared for the slaughter. In the south, the Gurkish are massing to assault Dagoska, defended by Glokta. As the city braces for defeat, a plot threatens to hand it to the besiegers without a fight. Meanwhile, a small band seeks a powerful device, a Seed, hidden for generations, which could end the war if found and controlled.

Last Argument of Kings

The end is near as Logen Ninefingers prepares for a final battle against the King of the Northmen. Superior Glokta fights a secret war where no one is safe, relying on blackmail and torture. Jezal dan Luthar, seeking a simple life with his love, finds that glory has a way of creeping back. As the King of the Union lies on his deathbed, chaos ensues, and the First of the Magi devises a risky plan to save the world, knowing the dangers of breaking the First Law.
