The First Law trilogy, a landmark grimdark epic fantasy series written by British author Joe Abercrombie. Published between 2006 and 2008, the trilogy includes The Blade Itself, Before They Are Hanged, and Last Argument of Kings.
The series is widely celebrated for its subversion of traditional high-fantasy tropes, relying on deep, morally ambiguous character studies, gritty action, and cynical, pitch-black humor. Rather than a classic story of good versus evil, it explores a world where flawed people make messy choices and plans regularly fall apart.
