From Little Stack
Joe Abercrombie’s writing has always been filled with comedy, but he’s taken his game to a whole new level with The Devils.
Set in an alternate-history world where the Roman Empire was conquered by Hannibal—only for Hannibal to destroy Carthage in a mass demon-summoning ritual gone wrong—it explores what life in the Renaissance might look like if magic was everywhere and the greatest threat to humanity was a horde of conquering elves.
The prose is so comedic and razor-sharp, the characters droll, and the situation just keeps getting stranger and stranger—but also darker and grimmer, in true Abercrombie fashion. It strides the line between comedic fantasy and dark epic fantasy to perfection.
A brand-new epic fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Joe Abercrombie, featuring a notorious band of anti-heroes on a delightfully bloody and raucous journey.
Holy work sometimes requires unholy deeds. Brother Diaz has been summoned to the Sacred City, where he is certain a commendation and grand holy assignment awaits him. But his new flock is made up of unrepentant murderers, practitioners of ghastly magic, and outright monsters. The mission he is tasked with will require bloody measures from them all in order to achieve its righteous ends.
Elves lurk at our borders and hunger for our flesh, while greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions and comfort. With a hellish journey before him, it's a good thing Brother Diaz has the devils on his side.
