Sharp Ends

The Union troops may be full of bastards, but there’s only one who thinks he can save the day single-handedly when the Gurkish come knocking: the incomparable Colonel Sand dan Glokta. Curnden Craw and his dozen are in search of a mysterious object beyond the Crinna. There’s just one small problem: no one seems to know what this object is. Shevedieh, who considers herself the best thief in Styria, stumbles from one catastrophe to the next alongside her best friend and greatest enemy, Javre, the Lioness of Hoskopp. After years of bloodshed, the idealistic chief Bethod is desperately trying to bring peace to the North. There’s just one obstacle – his own mad champion, the most feared man in the North: the Bloody-Nine. Sharp Ends brings together previously published, award-winning stories with exclusive new short stories. Violence erupts, betrayal is everywhere, and the words are as deadly as the weapons in this tale of a rogue.
