Lord Grimdark (self-appointed). Writer of the First Law and Shattered Sea books and the Devils. Part-time Witch King of Nihilism, deep in a jaded literary sewer etc. etc. https://bit.ly/firstlawkickstarter
For many years I have been aware of a deep injustice - citizens of the USA have had almost no hardcover editions of the First Law Trilogy to call their own. With your help, we can put this right.

I’m sure JRR Tolkien sold a lot of books. But did he have a commemorative plaque on a bookstore toilet? I think not.

Delighted to announce I'm going to be in France in a couple of weeks on 18th April, then the Trolls and Legends festival in Belgium 19th-20th. Sadly you won't be able to get the Devils at those events - not out in France till mid May, but I can sign anything else I've written...

They’ve proofed up the UK cover. Pretty stunning looking book…

Today’s Devil is Jakob of Thorn: Templar, Crusader, Marshal of Danzig, Champion of the Emperor of Burgundy, Papal Executioner, but labouring under a terrible curse…

This week's Devil is the laughably out of his depth Brother Diaz. All he wanted was a middling post in the church bureaucracy. He's ended up in charge of a set of literal monsters. Will he get to Troy before being eaten by any of his own congregation?

I’ve got 10,000 signature sheets to sign.

This week's Devil is the man who once called himself the Terror of Damietta in the hope that it would stick, one of the four (possibly three) best necromancers in Europe, Balthazar Sham Ivam Draxi.

This week's Devil is Sunny, who once performed in a freak show under the sign 'marvel at Europe's only captive elf.' Now, as a certified enemy of god, spends much of her time invisible. Thinks people are weird, but would love to be one.

Proper Scandinavian blood and lightning werewolf Vigga Ullasdottr. Release then jump down a well or something.

Here's charming old gent, etiquette expert, dumpling raconteur, and insatiable thirster after blood, Baron Rikard.

We've been revealing some of the internal art for the forthcoming The Devils: icon-influenced renderings of the central characters by Joel Daniel Philips. The standard hardcover will have four of these in colour on the endpapers, four in black and white internally. Here's worst princess ever, Alex.
