The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie
In a grim fantasy world where war looms and politics are cutthroat, a crippled torturer with a complicated past, a vain and self-absorbed swordsman, and a fierce but inexperienced young woman navigate their personal ambitions and struggles for power. As their paths intertwine, they are drawn into a dangerous game orchestrated by a cunning and secretive mage. Together, they must confront their own demons and decide what they're willing to sacrifice for a chance at glory or redemption, all while the threat of an ancient evil and an impending conflict casts a dark shadow over the land.
