The Heretics
Autor Joe Abercrombieen Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 mai 2027
Return to the raucous world of New York Times bestseller The Devils in the bloody, action-packed sequel, The Heretics.
This hardcover edition features four-color illustrated endpapers, foil case stamp, and illustrated map and family tree.
When saints turn away, devils must do god's work...
Mother Beckert, disgraced Inquisitor, has one chance at redemption. To root heresy from the crumbling city of Zeitz, even if she must use heretics to do it.
The venomously ambitious Hugo von Klotz is sixth in line to inherit the city, and a church-sanctioned witch hunt might be just the thing to clear away his jealous rivals.
But the Chapel of the Holy Expediency-including an insatiable werewolf, a depressed necromancer, and a beggar afflicted by visions-is a cure that might prove worse than the disease, and the rot at the heart of Zeitz goes deeper than anyone could suspect...

Recenzii
The Devils is just an incredibly fun, incredibly action-packed and, by the end, incredibly affecting book. It slammed the living shit out of me
The Devils is Joe Abercrombie at his best: exciting, witty, vicious. History buffs (like me!) will love the fantasy-historical setting overflowing with brilliant little details
Joe Abercrombie is, to me, the undisputed master of creating deep, distinct characters that leap off the page, and never more so than in The Devils. This book is hilarious, profound, tragic, and so thrillingly paced one scarcely has time to breathe between one calamitous adventure and the next. I loved every page, and can't wait to see where the story goes from here. Straight to hell, I hopefully suspect!
Visceral, vivid, and violent, The Devils is exceptionally good. Every page is laced with an edge, an energy, written with a fiercely confident voice that demands and deserves your attention. Packed with insightful commentary and sharp wit, this is a delightfully irreverent tale from a master of his craft. If competing works of fantasy literature are a forest, Abercrombie is a damn flamethrower
Deliciously wicked, surprisingly moving. The Dirty Dozen, but fantasy, and with literal monsters. An irresistible vampire, an undying knight, a not-to-be-f***ed with librarian, and the lustiest, most killy, most entertaining werewolf in fantasy or horror conspire to elevate a turdish thief to the throne of empire in this razor-sharp, genre-bending romp. Abercrombie's best to date. Beware
Devilish fun, an unholy delight. Wielding his trademarked grit and stiletto-sharp prose, Abercrombie is at his bloody best weaving a tale of monstrous heroes who discover the humanity in themselves
Mixing the central conceit of Suicide Squad with Hammer Horror vibes, as viewed via the lens of alternate history, Joe Abercrombie's The Devils is a gore splattered roller coaster ride from start to finish. Probably the most fun you can have reading a fantasy novel
Bloody, eloquent, and so fucking charming!
The Devils is ferociously imagined, and rumbles along with the unstoppable force of a city-burying avalanche. It's also frequently shout-out-loud-with-laughter funny. When it comes to big, shamelessly entertaining fantasy, Abercrombie is in a class of his own
