Sharp Ends

Sharp Ends collects short stories and novellas set across Joe Abercrombie's First Law world, filling gaps between and around the main novels through supporting characters who never got their own book. The mercenary Nicomo Cosca recurs as a loose thread tying much of it together, while other pieces follow different corners of the same violent, morally compromised world. Best enjoyed after the First Law trilogy, since several stories lean on what those books already established.
