'Abercrombie is in a class of his own' JOE HILL
'An unholy delight' PIERCE BROWN
'Hilarious, profound, tragic, and so thrillingly paced' NICHOLAS EAMES
'An incredibly fun, incredibly action-packed and, by the end, incredibly affecting book' TAMSYN MUIR

Europe stares into the abyss.

Plague and famine stalk the land, monsters lurk in every shadow and greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions. Only one thing is certain: the elves will come again, and they will eat everyone.

Sometimes, only the darkest paths lead towards the light. Paths on which the righteous will not dare to tread . . .

And so, buried beneath the sacred splendour of the Celestial Palace, is the secret Chapel of the Holy Expediency. For its congregation of convicted monsters there are no sins that have not been committed, no lines that will not be crossed, and no mission that cannot be turned into a disastrous bloodbath.

Now the hapless Brother Diaz must somehow bind the worst of the worst to a higher cause: to put a thief on the throne of Troy, and unite the sundered church against the coming apocalypse.

When you're headed through hell, you need the devils on your side.©2025 Joe Abercrombie (P)2025 Orion Publishing Group Limited

The Devils is absolutely hilarious at times, and has an interesting set of characters, and oh how I love Steven Pacey, it's just a pleasure to listen to. The world is great, a fun alternative history sort of. Can't recommend this audiobook enough. I'll be waiting for more with great anticipation.

Just brilliant, a must-listen to all Abercrombie-enjoyers

I was scared it wouldn't live up to The First law. But this is fantastic and equally good. Each character is amazing and the narrator is amazing. In love with the book. The humour is on point as well.

Abercrombie is back!
