Before They Are Hanged

This book is a thrilling adventure through a world where enemies are everywhere and alliances can't be trusted. The story follows Superior Glokta as he struggles to defend a city against invaders and traitors. Crown Prince Ladisla leads a poorly-equipped army to fight back against the Northmen, while Bayaz, the First of the Magi, embarks on a dangerous mission through ruins of the past. Together, this unlikely group might save humanity from the Eaters, but first they must forgive each other - or watch as they are hanged.
