Last Argument Of Kings

The looming end draws near. Logen Ninefingers, with his legendary reputation, knows he may have just one last battle left in him—and it's set to be monumental. As warfare engulfs the North, the King of the Northmen remains unyielding, and only one man can hope to stand against him: his oldest friend and fiercest foe. It's time for the Bloody-Nine to return home. Meanwhile, Superior Glokta, a man burdened with too many masters and too little time, fights a different war in the shadows—a secretive game where no one is safe, and trust is nonexistent. Though his days wielding a sword are over, his skill in manipulation, threats, and torture remains unbroken. Jezal dan Luthar has turned his back on the pursuit of glory, longing instead for a simple life with the woman he loves.

As the King of the Union hovers on the brink of death, chaos ensues with peasants in revolt and nobles vying for the throne. Few recognize the encroaching shadow of war threatening the Union's core. The First of the Magi has a world-saving plan, as always, but the stakes are perilously high. For there is no risk more dire than breaking the First Law. "Last Argument of Kings" is a gripping tale of power, betrayal, and the relentless march of fate.
