The Devils - Numbered Edition

Joe Abercrombie

The Numbered Edition of Joe Abercrombie’s bestselling The Devils stands as an homage to the introduction of this epic fantasy trilogy. Presented in a black cloth case with red and gold foil stamping and encased within a blind-stamped brown goatskin leather book wrap, this edition pairs old-world elegance with Abercrombie’s razor-sharp, action-packed narrative.

Signed by Joe Abercrombie, this edition is letterpress-printed in two color, and features custom endpaper illustrations and chapter line art with Joel Daniel Phillips’ full-color portraits, scene illustrations, and newly colorized map. No devils were harmed in the making of these books. We think.

Book Summary

The 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 Holy 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.
