The Heretics

Abercrombie returns to the dangerous religious world of The Devils, where rooting out heresy can mean relying on people the Church would rather condemn. The city of Zeitz provides the setting for another collision of faith, violence and expediency. This is a sequel for readers who want their epic fantasy morally tangled, with monstrous allies and institutions whose righteousness deserves close examination.
