A New York Times bestseller! They burned her home. They stole her brother and sister. But vengeance is following. Shy South hoped to bury her bloody past and ride away smiling, but she'll have to sharpen up some bad old ways to get her family back, and she's not a woman to flinch from what needs doing. She sets off in pursuit with only a pair of oxen and her cowardly old step father Lamb for company. But it turns out Lamb's buried a bloody past of his own. And out in the lawless Far Country the past never stays buried. Their journey will take them across the barren plains to a frontier town gripped by gold fever, through feud, duel and massacre, high into the unmapped mountains to a reckoning with the Ghosts. Even worse, it will force them into an alliance with Nicomo Cosca, infamous soldier of fortune, and his feckless lawyer Temple, two men no one should ever have to trust . . . Red Country takes place in the same world as the First Law trilogy, Best Served Cold, andThe Heroes. This novel also represents the return of Logen Ninefingers, one of Abercrombie's most beloved characters.

A New York Times bestseller!
They burned her home.
They stole her brother and sister.
But vengeance is following.


Shy South hoped to bury her bloody past and ride away smiling, but she'll have to sharpen up some bad old ways to get her family back, and she's not a woman to flinch from what needs doing. She sets off in pursuit with only a pair of oxen and her cowardly old step father Lamb for company. But it turns out Lamb's buried a bloody past of his own. And out in the lawless Far Country the past never stays buried.

Their journey will take them across the barren plains to a frontier town gripped by gold fever, through feud, duel and massacre, high into the unmapped mountains to a reckoning with the Ghosts. Even worse, it will force them into an alliance with Nicomo Cosca, infamous soldier of fortune, and his feckless lawyer Temple, two men no one should ever have to trust . . .

Red Country takes place in the same world as the First Law trilogy, Best Served Cold, andThe Heroes. This novel also represents the return of Logen Ninefingers, one of Abercrombie's most beloved characters.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Magnificent, richly entertaining.” Time
“Brilliant.” The Guardian (London)
“Terrific fight scenes, compelling characters (some familiar, some new), and sardonic, vivid prose show Abercrombie at the top of his game.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Pointed, driven, and sharp.” Locus
“Joe Abercrombie’s return to the world of his First Law trilogy in this standalone novel will please fans with its blend of characters new and old, the later including the return of Logen Ninefingers. One of the year’s best.” Barnes & Noble, editorial review
“Abercrombie’s latest fantasy adventure follows the fortunes of one of the series’ most complex characters, adding even more depth to a richly detailed yet grim universe. Though familiarity with the First Law books is helpful, this tale of a young woman’s determination and an old man’s redemption stands on its own, bolstered by strong characters and a sure hand at storytelling.” Library Journal
“It’s violent and full of treachery and horror, but it’s delivered with Abercrombie’s signature dark humor and a hint of cynicism.” Sci Fi Magazine
